Answer:
Water can conduct electricity ( if it is an electrolyte, as most tap water is) so you shouldn't touch electrical appliances with wet hands, or put them near water in case the water completes a circuit from the appliance, resulting in a live circuit. if you touch a live circuit that could result in electrocution.

It is dangerous to touch an electrical appliance with wet hands because water is a good conductor of electricity. ... These salts make water a good conductor. So, if we touch an electrical appliance with wet hands or while standing on a wet floor, a current will flow through our body and lead to an electric shock.
