Electrical Safety

The video explains how electric shocks occur and how to prevent them using insulation and low resistance paths. It discusses the role of electricians' gloves and lightning rods in safety. The video also covers how electrical appliances use insulation and earth wires to prevent shocks, ensuring safety by breaking circuits when necessary.

What is one way to protect yourself from an electric shock?

• Touching live wires

• Standing in water

• Using rubber gloves

• Wearing metal gloves

Why do electricians wear rubber gloves?

• To keep their hands warm

• To prevent electric current from flowing through their hands

• To look professional

• To increase their grip

How do lightning rods protect buildings?

• By insulating the building

• By repelling lightning

• By attracting lightning to the building

• By providing a low resistance path to earth

What happens if the insulating material on appliance wires is incomplete?

• The casing could become live

• The appliance will not work

• The appliance will be more efficient

• The appliance will overheat

What role does the earth wire play in electrical safety?

• It provides power to the appliance

• It offers a low resistance path to earth

• It insulates the appliance

• It decorates the appliance
