Why does flowing bath water sometimes give you an electric shock?

It could be that a heating element in your water heater, if is electric, is cracked. This would allow electricity to flow through the water and be felt in the stream of water.

Why you should never change a light bulb with wet hands?
We should never change a light bulb with wet hands as electricy is charged through water. It passes more quickly through water and we could get an electric shock.
Which fish can give electric shock?
An electric eel. the action exhibit on them at the New York Aquarium is simulated- or faked, it is extremely difficult to get electrical conduction under water without shock hazards, false readings, etc. the (Show Go Round) adaptation with noisy sound effects and flashing tubes is more Showmanship than science. I happen to know this exhibit is faked, the Eels are real and dangerous enough/
A complete path for electricity to flow?
currents can be thought of simply by flowing through a wire, though not always the case. It is convenient to think of current density which is the amount of current flowing through a cross sectional area, like water through the opening of a pipe, since electric current flows through many 3-dimensional objects.
What is an example of conduction?
An example of conduction is a metal spoon in a cup of hot water.an electric current flowing through water
How are groundwater and runoff alike?
Ground off and runoff are both precipitation and fresh water. Since they are fresh water, people use groundwater and runoff for households and drinking waters sometimes.
What happens if you put an electric dog collar in water whilst its on your dog?
It should be waterproof. my dog swims with his shock collar on sometimes and nothing happens
Can animals and plants get electric shock?
animals can but i think if a plant did it would die because it has so much water in it.
Can you drink the water after electric shock?
No, milk is a better option.
Does salt water flowing through a pipe constitute an electric current?
Salt water is coductive.
What type of energy is hydroelpower?
Hydro means fluid power and in this case that fluid is flowing water, usually a dam. el is electric So, hydro electric power or hydroelpower is electricity generated using flowing water from a dam.
What energy is a renewable energy source due to flowing water?
Hydro-electric.
What happens when electrical energy is added to water?
When electrical energy is added to water it creates electric shock.
Will you get electric shock when standing in a river which is effected by electric lines?
in wet grassYes, depending how close you are to the fallen power line, the amount of electric shock will vary. Electricity is much, much faster than moving water.
Why is water safety important?
because water is a conductor and it could sometimes shock u
Why are you less likely to get an electric shock after walking on carpet in humid weather than in dry weather?
in humid weather there is presence of water particles and water does conducts electricity,therefore easy to get an electric shock,unlike in dry weather where there is no conduction of electricity
Why you should never change a light bulb with wet hands?
We should never change a light bulb with wet hands as electricy is charged through water. It passes more quickly through water and we could get an electric shock.
What do you do if you get an electric shock?
bend them over and have fun if that does not work sit there and laugh at them and pour water over them.
