 \green{ \mathfrak{ \large{Required \: answer!!}}}

As rubber is a bad conductor of electricity so it does not allow the electric current to pass through it. Thus, the rubber gloves will save the electrician from any electric shock while repairing an electric switch or appliance.

Our body is a good conductor of electricity and rubber is an insulator. During repair, if an electrician is wearing rubber gloves and if the body comes in contact with current carrying wire, there won't be any accident as rubber does not allow the passage of current through it. Hence electrician uses rubber gloves while repairing an electric switch.

❣Hope this answer helps!!✌
