Thanks very much, and here's how i see it. I was thinking - in the most simplistic way possible using something similar to that. Let's say the source is AC, high voltage say... 100V? the source, I'm not sure it was just a hypothetical "what if" question that I couldn't really make my mind...

I have a system with an electrical source in the centre. the circuit branches off to two sides, one side is grounded, the other is not, if I were to touch the not grounded side of this wire, would I receive a shock? Or would I be perfectly fine because it's grounded at the other end?
