They get electricuted.
I've never tried it and I could be wrong but I believe you could pass an electric current through a vegetable, especially one with a high water content. Similar to how you can pass an electric current through a person.
Electric current can pass through a person if they provide a path for the flow of electricity, such as by touching a live wire. The human body is a conductor of electricity, so if there is a voltage difference across the body, current can flow through it. This can result in electric shock and potential injury or death.
Electric shock occurs when high voltage passes through a person's body, typically when they provide a path for the electrical current to flow, such as through their hand or foot. The severity of the shock depends on factors such as the amount of current and the path it takes through the body.
The person who is subjected to a higher voltage
Michael Faraday
When a person touches a bare electricity wire with current flowing through it, the body completes a circuit and the electricity flows through the body, causing an electric shock. If the body is wet, the water acts as a conductor and facilitates the flow of electricity through the body. This can lead to a more severe shock as wet skin has lower resistance than dry skin.
Typically, a person can start to feel an electric current at around 1 milliampere (mA). However, individual sensitivity can vary, and factors such as skin condition, moisture, and contact area can influence perception of electric current.
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.
This usually only happens on primary poles. The secondary does not have a high enough potential to make the jump to ground. The primary insulators have a crack in them and the high voltage is tracking across the crack to the pole and then to ground. If you have less resistance than the pole to ground where you touch it, you will feel a slight tingle.
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) trips when it detects an imbalance in the electrical current, indicating that some of the current is flowing through an unintended path, such as through water or a person. This helps prevent electric shocks and fires.
Yes, completing a circuit allows current to flow through the body, delivering a severe electric shock. The severity depends on factors like the amount of current, duration of exposure, and path it takes through the body. It can result in serious injuries or even be fatal.
Using a dry wooden pole to remove a person from an electric shock helps to avoid the rescuer getting electrocuted as wood is a poor conductor of electricity. The dry wooden pole acts as an insulator, preventing the electric current from passing through the rescuer's body. This method is a safer way to remove someone from an electric shock without putting oneself at risk.
