When electrical shock injury happens at home, the main power switch should be shut off. If that cannot be done, the alternative is for the rescuer to stand on a dry, nonconducting surface and use a nonconducting object to push the victim away from the source. The source should never be touched. Emergency medical help should be contacted as soon as possible. The victim especially if shocked by high voltage (500volts or more) is evaluated at the emergency room of a hospital.

Why are force fields necessary to desribe electric force?

Force fields are necessary to describe electric force because they help visualize and quantitatively represent how electric charges interact with each other in a given space. By using force fields, we can map out the strength and direction of the electric force at any point in that space, making it easier to analyze and predict the behavior of electric charges.


What is the treatment of electric shock?

Before you approach the victim, make sure he or she is no longer in contact with live electricity. If necessary, turn the Main Electricity Switch off. If that can't be done, knock the cable away with something that does not conduct electricity, such as a wooden broom handle or a rubber boot. Firstly lie down the patient on back with head flat and feet raised above the heart level . check the vitals . make the patient feel comfortable . if he is unconscious rub his hands to provide warmth and give a call on 911.
