Electricity will not pass to others in contact with the subject unless contact is made directly between or on the probes.

• A. Will pass
• B. Always passes
• C. Will not pass
• D. Sometimes passes

Answer: (C)

Electricity flows only when there is a complete path between the two probes. The subject forms that path when they are in contact with both probes, allowing current to flow through them. If others merely touch the subject and do not touch both probes (or bridge the circuit directly between the probes), there is no complete path for the current to reach them. That’s why current won’t pass to bystanders in contact with the subject unless they directly contact the probes or create a direct bridge between them. Therefore, the statement is correct: it will not pass to others unless there is direct contact between or on the probes.
