Best answer

1. Wet stick contains some amount of water throughout it. 

2. Water is a good conductor of electricity (ofcourse, pure water does not pass current). 

3. If we touch the person to push away from the electric wire, the current passes through the water into our body. 

4. It causes to get electric shock to us also. 

5. So, we should not use wet stick to push away a person when he get electric shock. 

6. We should use dry stick only to do that.
