Answer:
a)An electrical appliance is defined as: 'An item of current-using equipment, other than a luminary (light fitting) or an independent motor' An appliance, in the general sense, is an electrical or mechanical machine which accomplishes a specific function
b) When you touch the switch only with your hands wet, there are 99% chances that the water will not be enough to seep into the switch and get the circuit complete for you to be electrocuted. In this way your wet hand only touches the insulating plastic on the switch..
hope it is helpful
