The sun coming up in the morning, the rain falling from the sky could both be correct answers to the question.

In a double negative answer, there is nothing that doesn't affect the severity of an electrical shock. The fact that you are getting the electrical shock is proof of that.


The intensity of the shock will be governed by the internal resistance of your body and the points of contact where the voltage enters and leaves the body.
