What else can I help you with?
Why if you touch positive terminal of the dc supply is not give shock?
If you touch one side and nothing else there is no path for a current to flow, therefore no shock. Don't try this with a supply of 50 v or more.
Why are we advised not to touch life electrical appliances with wet hands?
Tap water and generally water (except specially proccessed water) can transmit electric current when the voltage is high enough. And the mains voltage (110 V for USA, 230 V for Europe) is more than high enough.
What is it called when you rub your sock covered feet on a rug across the room and then touch a doorknob?
This is called static electricity. When you rub your feet on the rug, electrons are transferred from the rug to your body, creating a charge imbalance. When you touch a doorknob, the excess electrons on your body are discharged, creating a spark.
What kind of energy do you experience when you get shocked from a metal doorknob?
When you get shocked from a metal doorknob, you are experiencing static electricity. This occurs when an imbalance of electric charges builds up on the doorknob and your body, and discharges when you touch the doorknob.
Why it is dangerous to touch anythings which work by electricity if your hands are wet?
It is dangerous to touch electrical devices with wet hands because water is a good conductor of electricity. This increases the risk of electric shock as the electricity can pass through the wet skin and into the body. This can result in serious injuries or even death.
Do not touch the bulb connected to the mains?
It is dangerous to touch a light bulb connected to mains electricity because you could get an electric shock. To change the bulb, make sure the power is turned off, or use insulated tools to avoid contact with the live parts. If you are not comfortable doing it yourself, seek help from a qualified electrician.
What is the difference between mains electricity and battery operated electricity?
Batteries range in output voltage from 1.2 volts for an AA rechargeable, to 12 volts for a car battery. There may be other voltages, for special purpose applications. Batteries supply DC (direct current), meaning that the current will only flow in one direction.What is considered "mains" electricity (from a plug or receptacle in the wall) is alternating current (the current is oscillating between flowing one direction, then the opposite direction then back and repeats). It oscillates at 50 or 60 times per second, depending on what country you live in. Also the voltage is between 100 volts and 250 volts, depending on the country, as well. These features enable the voltage to be changed up or down rather easily with transformer, and allow the electricity to be transmitted over long distances.But the alternating current and higher voltages also make your mains electricity much more dangerous to touch than a battery. A person's skin has pretty good resistance to electric flow, especially direct current. But with alternating current, if you touch a wire, charges can actually form under the skin and start flowing through your body, because your skin acts as a capacitor. Then, the oscillating current back and forth through your organs is much more damaging, possibly causing your heart to stop pumping.
What should you do in an environment that promots static electricity?
you should use an ESD mat in conjunction with an ESD strap touch the metal case of the power supply that is plugged into a properly grounded outlet
Can you give 5 reported commands?
1. Mother said "do not touch the electricity, donna". = mother asked donna to dont touch the electricity.
What is a myth in electricity?
that u can touch urself with it
Why do I get shocked when I touch metal?
When you touch metal and get shocked, it is likely due to a buildup of static electricity on your body. This static electricity can discharge when you touch a conductor like metal, causing a small electric shock.
City you cannot touch?
Electricity (Electric City)
Why does my blanket light up when I touch it?
When you touch your blanket, static electricity is created. This causes the blanket to light up because the static electricity can generate a small amount of light.
What is an example of harmless static electricity?
An example of harmless static electricity is when you touch a metal doorknob and feel a small shock. This is caused by the buildup of static electricity on your body from walking on carpet, and it discharges when you touch a conductor like the doorknob.
Can you see or touch electricity?
You can see it in certain applications and physical phenomena.But you're always advised not to touch it.
Why do I get shocked when I touch something?
When you touch something and get shocked, it is because of the buildup of static electricity on the surface of the object and on your body. When you touch the object, the excess electrons transfer from one surface to the other, causing a sudden flow of electricity, which results in the shock sensation.
What would happen you rub your feet on a rug and you touch water?
Rubbing your feet on a rug can create static electricity. When you touch water after building up static electricity, there can be a spark or small shock as the static electricity is discharged. This happens because water is a conductor of electricity and helps to dissipate the charge.
