Can the current supplied by a dry cell give an electric shock?
no. if the cell is dry, the electric capacity also becomes dry and this does not affect the conductor.
What determines how severe an electric shock will be?
Voltage of the source and your body's resistance
What is a electric shock and what happens?
Electric shock can cause burns or your heart to stop or beat irregularly It depends upon how much voltage one comes in contact with.
Why do you get an electric shock by touching a bare wire?
electric shock is a physiological symptom caused by an electric current flowing though the body. the current causes heating and, at higher levels, burns, and eventually death. The bare wire has an electric potential of some substantial voltage above ground. This potential causes a current to flow through your body to ground. if some other part of your body is not connected to ground, no current will flow. The current causes burning in your blood stream, your nervous system, and in you tissue. the current that flows through your body needs to be above about 10mA for you to perceive it as a shock. The voltage required to produce this current, by ohms law, depends upon the resistance between the point of contact and ground.
How is a person protected from an electric shock when the heater is switched on?
we can protected from an electric shock by wearing rubber sleepers.
What is the meaning of the statement high voltage by itself does not produce electric shock?
because
What animal can produce an electric current?
There are eels that can produce an electric shock. They are called electric eels.
Can the current supplied by a dry cell give an electric shock?
no. if the cell is dry, the electric capacity also becomes dry and this does not affect the conductor.
Who is resposible voltage or current for electric shock?
It is impossible to separate the two. The voltage determines the magnitude of the current, and the current causes the damage. So, they are both responsible for electric shock.
What would you do if you got an electric shock?
Die depending on what the voltage was!
What determines how severe an electric shock will be?
Voltage of the source and your body's resistance
What does risk of electric shock mean?
when high voltage electricity is live
Can you produce high voltage in your body without getting shock?
It is impossible
Can you produce high voltage in your body without getting a shock?
It is impossible
What is a electric shock and what happens?
Electric shock can cause burns or your heart to stop or beat irregularly It depends upon how much voltage one comes in contact with.
What can produce a shock of up to 650 volts?
Electric Eel
Why does the electric eel produce electricity?
Electric eels do glow. They also spark. An electric eel can give off quite a shock. The shock can be as high as 600 volts.
