An electric shock happens when an electric current flows through the body. It causes muscular spasm and associated pain. The severity of the shock depends on how much current there is. Currents above about 35 mA can be fatal if they reach the most sensitive muscles like the heart.
What else can I help you with?
What happens when you touch a charge electroscope and why?
You get an electric shock and this happens because the electroscope is charged and your body is good conductor of electricity.
What is static electricity and why is this name used?
Static electricity is when a group of atoms form together. When friction happens atoms create a negative charge and a shock is formed.
What is after shock?
a after shock is what happens after a earthquake
Can water shock you if it comes into contact with electricity?
Yes, water can conduct electricity and can shock you if it comes into contact with an electrical source.
What will cause a dangerous shock when mixed with electricity?
Water is a good conductor of electricity, so coming into contact with water while electricity is present can result in a dangerous shock. Other conductive materials, such as metal, can also cause a dangerous shock when in contact with electricity.
Why is shock life threatening?
A shock is a bolt electricity that can kill you
Why touching a bare electricity wire with current flowing through it gives a electric shock. what happens if the body is wet?
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.
How can electricity discharge harm you?
getting a shock
What gives you a shock but can never be seen?
That is electricity.
What gives you shock but cannot be seen?
Electricity
How much electricity can an electric eel generate in one electric shock?
An electric eel can generate up to 600 volts of electricity in one electric shock.
Why does electricity shock you?
Electricity can shock you because it disrupts the normal electrical signals in your body, causing muscles to contract involuntarily and potentially leading to injury or harm.
