Why don't you get an electric shock by touching a cooking saucepan that is being heated on an induction stove?

When you touch a cooking saucepan on an induction stove, you don't receive an electric shock because induction stoves use electromagnetic fields to heat the cookware directly, rather than relying on electric current flowing through the pan itself. The induction process only activates when compatible cookware is placed on the stove, and the electromagnetic field does not affect your body. Additionally, the surface of the induction stove remains cool to the touch, minimizing any risk of shock or burns.
