The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding Electric Shock**: Electric shock occurs when an electric current passes through the body. The human body is a conductor of electricity, meaning it can allow electric current to flow through it. 2. **Identifying the Circuit**: In an electric circuit, there are wires that carry electric current. If these wires are insulated, they are safe to touch. However, if they are bare (not insulated), they can pose a risk. 3. **Touching Bare Wires**: If you touch a bare wire in an electric circuit while the current is flowing, the electric current can enter your body. This happens because your body provides a path for the current to flow. 4. **Conditions for Electric Shock**: - You will get an electric shock if you touch a bare wire or a conductor in an electric circuit. - The circuit must be complete, meaning there is a continuous path for the current to flow. - If the circuit is not complete (for example, if the wires are not properly connected or if the battery is drained), there will be no electric current, and thus no electric shock. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, you will get an electric shock when you touch a bare wire in an electric circuit while the current is flowing. This is because the electric current can pass through your body, leading to a shock.
