A normal dry body's resistance from thumb to thumb is about 2.6 meg ohms.
This is the body's outside resistance from point to point and not the body's internal resistance. One the shock has started the skin becomes burned and this starts to lower the outside body resistance to a lower value. The longer the burning continues the lower the outside resistance becomes until it reaches an inside body resistance.
The body's internal resistance is in the neighbourhood of 1000 ohms.
Using the same formula with the internal resistance and see the drastic current increase that will kill you.
The formula for amperage is Amps = Voltage / Resistance.
Using a secondary voltage of 220 the formula is, Amps = 220/2600000 = .0000846 amps or .0846 milliamps.
Using a secondary voltage of 220, the formula is , Amps = 220/1000 = .22 amps or 220 milliamps
Using a secondary voltage of 480 the formula is, Amps = 480/2600000 = .0001846 amps or .1846 milliamps.
Using a secondary voltage of 480, the formula is , Amps = 480/1000 = .48 amps or 480 milliamps
As you can see, as the voltage become higher so does the current that can flow through your body if you short across an electric potential.
The following list is the tolerances that the body can stand.
Less than 1/2 milliamp no sensation
1/2 to 2 milliamps Threshold of perception
2 to 10 milliamps muscular contraction
5 to 25 milliamps painful shock (may not be able to let go)
Over 25 milliamps Could be violent muscular contraction
50 to 100 milliamps Ventricular fibrillation
over 100 paralysis of breathing.
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.
Electric shock injuries are caused by lightning or electric current from a mechanical source passing through the body
When current flows in opposite directions in a conductor, a potential difference is created between the entry and exit points of the body. This potential difference causes an electric shock when the body comes into contact with a conductive material, leading to current passing through the body and potentially causing harm.
That depends on the amp. if it has a very small current, it will only feel a little numbing.
According a chart by Cooper-Bussman, voltage from 3 to 10 milliamps is painful, but not dangerous. From 10 to 40 milliamps is what is called the "let go threshold". When you reach that threshold your muscles have convulsed so hard that you can not let go of the conductor.
Really PAINFUL.. like having A heart attack ;) LOL IM Serious -_-
If the wire is carrying an electrical current, and if the current has enough voltage, the current can leave the wire and pass through your body. This is painful, and can causes burns or death.
direct current
It is impossible to separate the two. The voltage determines the magnitude of the current, and the current causes the damage. So, they are both responsible for electric shock.
A Current Affair - 1971 Shock Exit is rated/received certificates of: Australia:PG
yes very very very painful! a jellyfishes sting is kind of like an electrict shock a very high and paionful one. people can die from jellyfish stings because they go into shock and drown becareful when you swim :O
The recommended psi range for a mountain bike shock typically falls between 150-250 psi, as indicated on the mountain bike shock psi chart.
It means it could shock you to death. Painful
The recommended PSI range for a mountain bike front shock according to the MTB front shock PSI chart is typically between 50-100 PSI.
The severity of an electric shock is determined by the amount of current that passes through the body, the path the current takes, and the duration of the shock. Factors such as voltage, resistance of the body, and individual health can also influence how severe the shock will be.
To properly inflate your bicycle air shock using a bicycle air shock pump, first, check the recommended pressure range for your specific shock. Then, attach the pump to the valve on the shock and pump air in slowly, using a pressure gauge to monitor the pressure. Stop when the pressure reaches the recommended range. Be careful not to overinflate the shock.
The amount of current that should be given to mice in Electric Shock experiments would depend on what is being tested
