Why electrical shock occurs?

0

Current always finds a path to earth because it’s referenced to earth at the point of generation therefore creating a circuit. It can be generated without reference to earth and therefore avoiding shock potential but it creates other problems that are even harder to deal with so usually isn’t. In the event of a fault or accidental contact with a live conductor you become the path back to earth that the current takes….therefore giving you an electric shock.
