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.


What is the minimum amperage that will kill?

Around 100 mA (0.1 A) of electrical current passing through the human body can be enough to cause cardiac arrest and be potentially fatal. However, the exact threshold can vary depending on individual factors such as overall health, the path the current takes through the body, and how long the current flows.


Name Any two effects of electric current?

1. induces magentic field around the conductor.2.Generates heat in the conductor.3. Causes shock if flows through human body.AnswerThe three 'effects' of an electric current are its heating effect, its magnetic effect, and its chemical effect.It's magnetic effect (resulting in the force between parallel conductors) is used to define the ampere.


What difference in current amperage makes an RCD trip?

RCD stands - Residual Current Device. Normally It measures current on phase & neutral and if there is any change or difference (Should be Phase I - Neutral I = Zero) even 30mAmps RCD trips to break the circuit to avaoid any damages to equipments as well as human beings. Its same as ELECB / RCCB.


Why do you use a gfi outlet?

GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) For electricity to work, an incoming current on one wire must be exactly same as a current returning on another wire. If those two currents are different by even 0.005 amps, then current may have found some other and dangerous path. Such as through a human body. A GFCI measures these currents. If a difference is too large, then a switch trips to cut off current. So that a human is not killed now or sometime in the future.

What is a static switch?

A static switch is a switch that uses the electrostatic current that flows through the human body to power on or off the device.


How long does it take to kill a human during electrocution?

depends on where current flows If it flows directly through heart you may be dead in a few milliseconds. If it doesn't you may not die until you are a smoking overcooked piece of meat.


Why electric shocks occur?

An electric shock can be useful to the body in these two situations:A Defribrilator - Used to restart a patient's heart if it stops beating.A Pacemaker - Used to send electrical impulses to the heart at certain timings to make it beat properly.


What level of electrical current is safe for the human body?

Generally, electrical currents above 10 milliamperes can be dangerous for the human body, particularly if the current flows through the heart. Currents below this level are less likely to cause harm, but individual factors, such as the path the current takes through the body and the duration of exposure, can also affect safety.
