If I put a fork in an outlet while (hypothetically) my feet

Thu Feb 04, 2021 4:52 pm

If I put a fork in an outlet while (hypothetically) my feet aren t on the ground and I m surrounded only by air, would I be safe?

it would stay within the fork since my body would be an open circuit right ? Could I reproduce this effect by standing on a dielectric material? I m an engineering student so no need to explain what current/voltage is etc. I know this works theoretically with an "goal" circuit but don t know about in genuine life. Might get some burns or something from the fork? Thanks for the help
