Is it possible for a human to close an electrical circuit. Will the electricity go through him or is that not a closed circuit?

Yes, and yes. If electrical current flows through him, then he is part of a closed circuit. If the current is greater than some threshold amount, and it flows through certain specific parts of the body, then the result is the phenomenon known as "electrocution". It isn't pretty.


Why do you experience a shock in an open circuit?

You don't experience a shock in an open circuit. The only time that you can get a shock from an open circuit is when you act as a switch and close the circuit or you ground the circuit hot side to ground with your body. Current has to flow to give you a shock.


How do you save a person from touching a live household electric wire?

If someone is touching a live household electric wire, do not touch them or the wire yourself. Quickly cut off the power supply to the house at the circuit breaker if possible, and then call emergency services for help. It is important to avoid direct contact with the person until emergency services arrive to safely remove them from the electric source.


What does fuses and circuit breakers protect the wire or equipment?

A fuse protects a circuit, equipment, or person by being the 'weakest link'. In case of too much current flowing, it opens, breaking the circuit and not allowing electricity to flow. This prevents a continual overcurrent, and associated heat and fire.


Why aren't you supposed to touch an electrocuted person before you disconnect the circuit?

B/c that can make you part of the circuit, electrocuting yourself too.

What is the history of the electric circuit?

the history of the electric circuit is that the person who made it his name is jack kilby but the history is that the electric circuit was one of the easiest way was to make the electric circuit when the electricity went out. THE END


What is the purpose of a taser gun?

A taser gun is an electronic device that has two electric leads on the front of the device and a control switch to create a current. The device has the ability to stun a person when they come in contact between the lead, completing the circuit.

Why would you connect wires to a penny?

Answer why does the person who made a circuit a probably connect the wires to a penny


How can you measure if a person has too much electric current in body?

he is probably already dead, so there is nothing to measure


How is a person protected from an electric shock when the heater is switched on?

A person is protected from electric shock when a heater is switched on by the design of the electrical system, such as proper grounding and insulation of wires. Additionally, using circuit breakers and ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) can help prevent electric shocks by quickly shutting off power in case of an electrical fault. It's also important for users to never touch the heater with wet hands or while standing in water.


Why is it important for us to remove the metal jewelry matches ring before working on electric circuit?

the reason one needs to remove metal from one's hands(including fingers or wrist area) is that a circuit can be made if the metal comes in contact with the circuit parts. if this happens, a circuit could be made through the jewelry and the jewelry would then be carrying voltage and/or current which of course, would be attached to the person wearing it! This would be a short circuit causing damage to the circuit, and also to the person wearing the jewelry...so watch out!


Can people die in an electric circuit?

Yes, quite easily. A current of **** (value blanked for safety reasons) is enough to cause the heart to fail, if a person is unlucky enough to have this happen to them.


How does a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protect you from electrical hazards?

A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protects you from electrical hazards by quickly shutting off power to the circuit if it detects a ground fault, which is when electricity flows through an unintended path, such as water or a person. This helps prevent electric shocks and fires.


If a person has an electric car and they don't have a garage where do they plug it in to recharge it?

Probably an electrical outlet near the door of their house closest to driveway or car port.


What causes a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to trip?

A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) trips when it detects an imbalance in the electrical current, indicating that some of the current is flowing through an unintended path, such as through water or a person. This helps prevent electric shocks and fires.
