Electricity is always going to take the path of least resistance to ground. The rubber in your shoes is not a conductor of electricity, therefore you are not completing the circuit and you don't get shocked. Your bare feet, on the other hand ARE conductors of electricity, so when you hold the wire, you complete the circuit and become the path of least resistance to ground... ZAP!

Answer:
P.E. = -0.449 J
Explanation:
Potential energy of a charge particle in any electrostatic field is defined as the amount of work done ( in negative ) to bring that charge particle from any position to a new position r.
Now Potential energy is defined by this formula,
P.E. = k q₁ q₂/ r
where P.E. is the potential energy.
k = 1/( 4πε₀) = 8.99 × 10⁹ C²/ ( Nm²)
q₁ = charge of one particle = +1.0μC
q₂ = charge of another particle = -5.0μC
r = distance = 0.1 m
Now , P.E. = 8.99 × 10⁹C²/ ( Nm²) * ( -5.0 × 10⁻⁶ C ) × ( 1 × 10⁻⁶ C ) / 0.1 m
P.E. = -0.449 J
Therefore, the kinetic energy of an object is proportional to the square of its velocity (speed). In other words, If there is a twofold increase in speed, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of four. If there is a threefold increase in speed, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of nine.
