Is it possible for a human to close an electrical circuit. Will the electricity go through him or is that not a closed circuit?
Yes, and yes. If electrical current flows through him, then he is part of a closed circuit. If the current is greater than some threshold amount, and it flows through certain specific parts of the body, then the result is the phenomenon known as "electrocution". It isn't pretty.
Is the the human tissue a conductor or conduction?
It is a conductor. Conduction is the process which occurs when electricity flows through a conductor.
Name Any two effects of electric current?
1. induces magentic field around the conductor.2.Generates heat in the conductor.3. Causes shock if flows through human body.AnswerThe three 'effects' of an electric current are its heating effect, its magnetic effect, and its chemical effect.It's magnetic effect (resulting in the force between parallel conductors) is used to define the ampere.
Could Electric current through the human body produce Electrolysis of Intersticial Fluid?
Yes, it can. Human fluids include sodium, potassium and other electrolytes that, by definition, include free ions. Current will flow through these electrolytes and will start the process of breaking down the aqueous electrolytes to their constituent elements.
How much voltage is too much?
The human body can be electrocuted by as little as 10 milliamps (mA) of current.Remember that voltage is a measure of the pressure driving the current, whileamperage measures how much current flows through something (in this case,you). Also keep in mind that 10 mA is 1/100 of an ampere; it doesn't take thatmuch to disrupt a heartbeat. Too much voltage is whatever it takes, betweenthe two points where the circuit contacts your body, to drive 0.01 ampere ofcurrent through your heart.Another AnswerToo much voltage is whatever voltage causes its insulation to break down.
What is a static switch?
A static switch is a switch that uses the electrostatic current that flows through the human body to power on or off the device.

How long does it take to kill a human during electrocution?
depends on where current flows If it flows directly through heart you may be dead in a few milliseconds. If it doesn't you may not die until you are a smoking overcooked piece of meat.
Why electric shocks occur?
An electric shock can be useful to the body in these two situations:A Defribrilator - Used to restart a patient's heart if it stops beating.A Pacemaker - Used to send electrical impulses to the heart at certain timings to make it beat properly.
How much blood flows through the human brain per minute?
1 litre
What are the 4 chambers in the human body that the blood flows through?
heart lungs liver arteries
He shock electric eel generate are these shocks fatal for an adult human being?
yes,an electric eel shocks are fatal for an adult human being

It is a conductor. Conduction is the process which occurs when electricity flows through a conductor.
Through the different parts of the heart what is the direction that blood flows inside the human heart?
Hola people!
Does current stay in human body upon electrocution?
No. Current passes through until its source stops, then there is no more current.
How much heat can electric current passing through the human body create?
It depends on the amount of current, enough current can cook the body.
Does human nail conduct current?
Static Electricity at a minor rate can be induced through human nails following certain process
