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?

The electric/magnetic field that is essentially the wrangler of electrons sets forth a path of least resistance and the electrons follow that. The electrons do not know anything. They just follow the complex fields all around the system and all around us.
