Explain why, it is more dangerous to touch the live wire of mains supply rather than the neutral wire.

The answer to ur question is yes
Actually when we will get shock is when current flows through our body.so when current wil l go?Obviously when there is a potential or voltage difference.If u r standing on the ground,touching the live wire,probably there will be more potential difference..so more current will pass through your body.In the same way if u touch neutral wire there may be less potential difference (but theoretically we wont get any shock.Because neutral cintains 0 potential difference.but practically its not possible)compared with neutral wire.(Always return current will pass through neutral wire).So it is more dangerous touching live wire rather than neutral wire.
All the above thing is happened olny when u stand in ground or earth.If u don't stand on earth..simply flying in air..u won't get any affect even if u touch the wire.Beacuse there is no closed path for current to flow.
