Answer 1

 Electric shock occurs when a body gets in contact with a electrical energy source and the circuit completes and the current flows to the ground.

Answer 2

Electric shock:

The electric shock is a combined effect of potential difference, electric current and the resistance of the body.

● An electric shock can be experienced when there exists a potential difference between one part of the body and another part.

● When current flows through human body chooses a part which offers low resistance.

● The resistance of a body is not uniform throughout it.

● As long as current flow continues inside the body the current and resistance of human body go on changing inversely.

● This is called the electric shock.
