  1. Imagine standing in an electric field, ie a high power cable over your head. We know the potential at your feet would be zero ie you're grounded. As the voltage over your head increases the the potential difference between your head and your feet increases. You are basically a resistor. As the potential between head and feet increases so too does the current between head and feet. At some voltage it becomes niticeable and some other fatal! So, an electrical field with sufficient field gradient across your body will give rise to a current = shock.


  2. yes, a lightning bolt. If you are grounded and stand close enough to  a conductor at a high enough voltage, a spark will jump to you.

  3. A very strong electric arc like the ones present in electrical stations or sub-stations.
