What two types injury is caused when electrical energy passes through the body?
Shock and burn
What are the three effects of electric current?
Death, injury, and electricutionIf we ignore the above, humourous(!), attempt at an answer, then the three effects of an electric current are (1) heating effect, (2) chemical effect, and (3) magnetic effect.Examples of the heating effect include electric heaters, kettles, stoves, etc. An examples of the chemical effect is electroplating. Examples of the magnetic effect includes relays, motors, etc.The SI unit of current, the ampere, is defined in terms of the force between two parallel conductors due to their magnetic fields (i.e. the magnetic effect).
What is difference between pneumothorax and atelectasis?
Atelectasis is a partial collapse of the lung caused by failure of the parenchymal (functional) lung tissue due to disease (i.e., COPD). Pneumothorax is the collapse of the lung due to mechanical causes (i.e., traumatic injury, violent coughing).
Injury resulting from an impact with an object is called?
sciatica
What is the effect of a gunshot at zero distance?

What is unintentional injury?

Who should be responsible for my friend's injury?
Whoever caused the injury should be held liable for it. If your friend did something reckless, which caused the injury, then your friend is solely responsible.

How can you say that it's under the personal injury state?
A personal injury can be a physical injury, disease or illness, or a psychological injury or illness. A personal injury could result in death. Examples of personal injuries are: an injury at work. This includes work-related illnesses such as a disease caused by working with asbestos, a psychological illness caused by stress at work, an injury caused in a traffic accident or an injury received as a result of faulty goods or services.
What is the use of insulators on transmission lines?
The same reason insulation is used on electrical wire.The voltage at which transmission lines are operated, can produce serious short circuits, if two of the lines make contact, and depending on the system, can arc to the ground (earth). This can cause serious injury or death if a person happens to be in harms way.If you examine these line insulators, you will find there are many "hills and valleys" on the surface of them. This is to increase the "creep" length of the insulator and total distance between conductors and ground.At this high voltage, the current will arc for some distance.In general, insulators are for protection of the continuity of the power supply to the system's users.
