Answer 1

Topic

Electricity

Solution

We should wear rubber shoes while operating electrical appliances because our human body is very good conductor of electricity and if by any means current leaks or flow through our body then it can be harmful for us as it passes from our body to earth which completes the circuit for the flow of current.

To protect us from any current discharge through our body while using electrical appliances we use rubber shoes which is very good insulator of electricity.

If current leaks to our body then we will not get current as rubber shoe is not letting circuit complete.

So, the very main aspect of wearing Rubber Shoe is to protect yourself from Electrical shocks.
