Shalini is a student of class X. Her mother was preparing tea in an old electric kettle having metal case. When she switched on the electric kettle. she got a severe electric shock. Shalini put off the main switch qUickly and found that the connecting cord was torn, where her mother touched the metal case of the kettle. She also found that the red and black wires of the connecting cord were firmly connected to the two lower terminals of the power plug but the green wire of the cord was not connected to the upper terminal of the plug. Shalini replaced the torn connecting cord and also connected the three wires of the cord firmly to the power plug terminals. On the basis of the above passage, answer the following questions: What values are displayed by Shalini in this incident?
