Are shoes comparable to capacitors if receiving electric shock from one lead?
I answered this SE EE question a few days ago.
My answer
OP said: "Are our shoes/wooden floor/concrete like a capacitor which can conduct AC?"
Yes, they can be considered as a capacitor with negligible capacitance.
OP said: "Is there current flow between the ground of the secondary..."
The isolation transformer is connected with the idea of not being connected to the ground.
My comments
- @Niels, I've touched the line with my bare hand with shoes on and stepped on a wooden floor... I even made a video... but I don't recommend it for beginners. If you do decide to do it, hold your other hand behind your back.
- @Hearth, I hid the link to the video from my students and promised to show them when they become engineers :-)
