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 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.


Can you drink the water after electric shock?

No, milk is a better option.

What material would not be good for insulating against electric shock?

Materials that conduct electricity, such as metals and water, would not be good for insulating against electric shock. These materials allow electricity to flow through them, increasing the risk of electric shock. Insulating materials like rubber or plastic are better choices for providing protection against electric shock.


Why is water safety important?

Does salt water flowing through a pipe constitute an electric current?

No, salt water flowing through a pipe by itself does not constitute an electric current. Electric current requires the movement of charged particles, such as electrons, in a closed circuit. Salt water can conduct electricity only if there are free ions present in the water to carry the charge.


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 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.


How do you get electric shock?

Electricity tends to travel towards the ground. when we touch an electrical substance, our body acts as a conductor and the current passes through our body to the ground. this is how we get an electric shock.
