What stops you from being electrocuted if touching an electric stove?

When you touch an electric stove, you are generally safe from electrocution because the stove is designed to operate on a specific voltage and is properly insulated. The stove's metal surfaces are typically not live unless there is a fault, such as a damaged cord or internal wiring issue. Additionally, your body must complete a circuit with a ground or a different voltage source for electrocution to occur, which usually doesn't happen when simply touching the stove. However, caution is always advised, as faulty appliances can pose risks.
