Why should an electrician use rubber gloves while repairing an electric switch at your home? Explain.
Share
Electricians frequently touch copper wires or they may accidentally come in contact with live wires (wires carrying current). Since human body is a good conductor, electricians may get shock. Rubber is an insulator. To prevent themselves from electric shock or flow of current, the electricians use rubber gloves while repairing.

Electricians wear rubber gloves for safety while fixing switches. The gloves act as insulators, preventing electric shocks by blocking direct contact with live electrical parts. They create a protective barrier, reducing the risk of injury from electric currents during repairs.
