Why do you get an electric shock by touching a bare wire?
electric shock is a physiological symptom caused by an electric current flowing though the body. the current causes heating and, at higher levels, burns, and eventually death. The bare wire has an electric potential of some substantial voltage above ground. This potential causes a current to flow through your body to ground. if some other part of your body is not connected to ground, no current will flow. The current causes burning in your blood stream, your nervous system, and in you tissue. the current that flows through your body needs to be above about 10mA for you to perceive it as a shock. The voltage required to produce this current, by ohms law, depends upon the resistance between the point of contact and ground.
What is compensated shock?
There are several ways the body goes through shock; Compensated shock occurs when the body expects to see or feel something that will either frighten or cause the body pain, and the body prepares itself for this sudden event- muscles tighten, heart rate increases and gets that "dropped" feeling. When the event does not happen, your body still must go into shock in order to avoid injury from the sudden loosening of muscles ans raised rate.
What causes you to be shock when you walk across a carpet?
