So as we know for a person to get electrocuted a circuit needs to be completed. You cannot stand on a wooden chair and get electrocuted. So when you stand on a wooden chair and touch a live wire, how does the electricity figure out that you’re standing on an insulator? Does the electricity pass through you first before failing to complete the circuit because of the wood?

Think about it like opening a door. It doesn’t flow through you because you haven’t opened the door for it to go anywhere. It’s already grooving in its current circuit. When you open the door by completing the circuit it has somewhere to go.
