Why do you repel when you get an electric shock?
You naturally jerk away from an electric shock, like a static shock you can produce when the humidity is low in your house. Taking a shock from a higher power source affects the muscle tissue involved because the nerves all through the tissue conduct the electricity and trigger muscle contraction. If the current is high enough, it can burn the tissue. If you grab a wire that is live with a DC source, you may be able to force your muscles to let go of the wire. If the wire you grab is driven by an AC source, your muscles will contract, relax, contract, and relax at the frequency of the source. You may not be able to let go of the wire. This is why you NEVER get near downed power lines, even if they look dead. ALWAYS treat electrical circuits as if they are live.
