The answer to this question is both yes and no. On the one hand, a neutral wire carries electricity, but it’s not hot or “live” like the other wires in your circuit. It does not carry the same voltage as the live wire, so you will not get electrocuted if you touch it directly. However, an electric shock can come from a neutral wire if there is an imbalance between the two wires in your circuit. If one of these wires has too much current running through it, this can cause an electric arc which can result in you being shocked if you were to come into contact with it.
