Will I get a shock if I stand on an insulator and touched a iron which supplies a voltage of 2000000V and without Earth wire?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
depends on your resistance and the insulator's resistance.
It all depends... i think
 
2 MILLION volts? That insulator won't do much good, since you can discharge by ionizing the surrounding air (corona discharge).
 
So a complete circuit is formed and I would probably die?
My thought: No complete circuit, no current, I won't be affected. For the electrostatics, it is irrevalent. Am I correct?

With that you'll break down the dielectric of the air around you, like Galileo said. You'll discharge into the atmosphere (the circuit is complete as far as you are concerned).
