<p>You run across a wire cable, or wire fence in the wild, with which you would have to interact in some way. How to check if electricity runs through it without having special tools?</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> As the question states it could be a low-voltage fence however I could be checking some sort of cable that I happen to find going over a cliff, which I would like to use as a 'bridge'. (So question includes very high-voltage check too :) ) ...hand-testing shouldn't really be an option...</p>
