The electric eel (Electrophorus electricus), which is found in South American tropical regions, has the ability to produce powerful electric charges. The low intensity charges emitted by the eel range from 5 to 10 V. The higher intensity charges vary by the size of the eel. Smaller eels (about 10 cm in length) can produce charges of up to 100 V. Larger eels (over 1 m in length) can produce charges of 450 to 650 volts of electricity. The discharging system of the electric cells was first explained by a Martins-Ferreira, Altamirano and Keynes in 1953.
The electric organs of the eel are located in its tail, which is roughly 4/5 of the animal's body. The electric organs are made up of a large number of electric disks (as many as 200,000 in one tail) piled in vertical or horizontal rows. The nerve endings located at the end of the electroplax discharge the electricity.
What else can I help you with?
Is an electric eel shocking its prey endothermic or exothermic?
The electric eel's ability to generate electric shocks is an exothermic process. This means it releases energy in the form of heat during the biochemical reactions that produce electricity. The electric organs in the eel convert chemical energy from food into electrical energy, allowing it to stun prey or defend itself.
How many volts can an eel produce?
It can produce up to 600 volts. It is not really an eel but a part of the group called knifefish. It is considered an apex predator.
In an electric eel how much of its body holds the organs that make the electric shock?
Approximately 80% of an electric eel's body is occupied by organs known as electrocytes, which are responsible for generating electric shocks. These electrocytes are bundled together in specialized structures called electric organs, located mainly in the fish's tail region.
How does the highest discharge of an electric eel compare with the voltage that comes out of a normal wall socket?
An electric eel can discharge up to 600 volts, while a normal wall socket in the United States typically outputs around 120 volts. This means that an electric eel can generate a much higher voltage than a standard wall socket.
What would Happen to you if you put your hand in a electricity Eel in an tank?
If you were to put your hand in a tank with an electric eel, you would likely receive a powerful electric shock. Electric eels are capable of generating a strong electrical current to stun prey and defend themselves from predators. This could potentially cause injury or harm to you.
What shape does an electric eel have?
what shape is a Electric Eel
What color is the electric eel?
The electric eel is the colour brown.
Who made the electric eel?
No one made the electric eel, it is an animal.
If an electric eel is not a true eel then what is it?
It is a catfish and carp. It is not an eel.
What is the difference between an eel and an electric eel?
The eel is not electric and is able to be touched by human where as the electric eel will zap you if you touch it.
How does the electric eel use the electric discharge?
The Electric Eel uses the electric discharges for hunting and self defence
On reincarnation 2 riley's out again the game how do you get the key out the person?
You have to click on the magnet and then on the electric electric eel really fast.
What size does an electric eel get to?
An Electric Eel grows up to almost 8ft

What category is an electric eel in?
The electric eel is in the catfish and carp category but they behave like eels.
What is the amount of electricity from an electric eel?
An electric eel can hold up to 600v and 10v the lowest.
