Electricity has a deadly effect on the body. When looking at the following list remember that 1 amp is equal to 1000 milliamps.
The following list is the tolerances that the body can stand.
Less than 1/2 milliamp no sensation
1/2 to 2 milliamps Threshold of perception
2 to 10 milliamps muscular contraction
5 to 25 milliamps painful shock (may not be able to let go)
Over 25 milliamps Could be violent muscular contraction
50 to 100 milliamps Ventricular fibrillation
over 100 paralysis of breathing.

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.
Will electric shock break a bone?
An electric shock by itself is unlikely to break a bone. However, if a person experiences a severe electric shock that causes muscle contractions or throws them forcefully, it is possible for bones to break due to the impact or trauma resulting from the shock.
How do you shock a flatline to revive a patient?
To revive a patient with a flatline, a defibrillator is used to deliver an electric shock to the heart. This shock helps to restore the heart's normal rhythm and can potentially revive the patient.
Electrical shock to the body affects the?
Electrical shock affects the nervous system as the electrical current disrupts the normal functioning of nerves and muscles in the body. It can cause muscle contractions, burns, and potentially disrupt the heart's rhythm, leading to serious injury or death. Immediate medical attention is crucial in such cases.
How can electric shock therapy be used to stimulate muscles effectively?
Electric shock therapy, also known as electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), can be used to stimulate muscles effectively by delivering electrical impulses to the muscles, causing them to contract. This can help improve muscle strength, endurance, and recovery. The therapy is often used in physical therapy and sports training to enhance muscle performance and aid in rehabilitation.
What kills you when you get an electric shock?
An electric shock can stop the heart or interfere with the normal electrical signals in the body, leading to cardiac arrest. It can also cause burns or tissue damage, which can be life-threatening if severe. Additionally, the current can disrupt the normal functioning of the nervous system and vital organs, potentially resulting in death.
Can electric shock cause sezuires?
Anything that can interfere with the proper function of the brain can cause seizures and certainly electricity can interfere with the brain. But it seems to me that the brain would have to be involved in the electric shock and in most cases it is not. Sometimes someone will get their head into hot wires, but hard hats are non-conductive and protect you from this.

Whats the difference between electric shock and electrocuted?
Electric shock is to electrocuted as burned is to cremated. Electric shock is the same as electrocuted, except that electrocuted has actually induced death; to kill by electric shock.
Can electric shock cause seizures?
Yes, electric shock can cause seizures.
Whether muscles get paralyzed on electric shock?
Muscles do not get paralyzed on electric shock from the AED.
Does electrical shock from an outside source interfere with the function of a pacemaker?
if the shock crosses the equipment then yes. it must also be a large shock

Why do electric guitars shock you if your barefoot?
They shouldn't if you get an electric shock while playing there is a fault with your equipment.
How do you spell eltric shock?
It is spelled 'Electric Shock'.
Do switches need to be grounded for electrical safety?
Yes, switches should be grounded for electrical safety to prevent the risk of electric shock and ensure proper functioning of the electrical system.
