How can electric current pass through a person?
Electric current can pass through a person if they provide a path for the flow of electricity, such as by touching a live wire. The human body is a conductor of electricity, so if there is a voltage difference across the body, current can flow through it. This can result in electric shock and potential injury or death.
Can cold be transferred?
Yes, cold can be transferred from person to person through droplets from coughing or sneezing, as well as through touching contaminated surfaces and then touching the face. Cold viruses can be transmitted easily in close contact settings.
What happens to a person who hangs on the power line?
If a person is simply hanging from the power line, not touching anything else, nothing much will happen. This is also the reason why birds can sit on power lines, and squirrels can run along them without injury. However, if the person hanging form the power line completes a circuit by touching anyhting through which current can flow, that person will be electrocuted and may not survive the experience. Items that could be touched and cause electrocution include vehicles, ladders, power poles, trees and shrubs, kite strings, other power lines operating at different voltage, among other things.
How people get electrocuted in water?
When electricity comes into contact with water, the water can conduct the electricity, allowing it to flow through the water and potentially through a person in the water. This can happen if a person comes into contact with a live electrical source while in water, such as faulty wiring or an electrical device that has fallen into the water. The electricity can then pass through the person's body, causing electrocution.
Why don't birds get electrocuted sitting on a wire?
Very interesting...A current will flow (or somebody will get electrocuted!) if there is a sufficiently high potential difference across him.When birds sit on a wire (of high potential), the whole body becomes at a high potential, and there is no potential difference across it. Hence, no current passes through it and the bird is not electrocuted.However, if a person, while standing on the ground, touches the same wire, he will be electrocuted.add You've discovered one of the reasons why overhead electric wires are separated from each other. We do have blackouts caused by a bird or an opossum (Aus) bridging between the wires. In NZ in suburbia, almost all power poles have a wide metal band on them to stop the possums from climbing them.
How do you spell electrocute?
The verb for to execute or kill by electric shock is indeed to electrocute.(Example : Touching a hanging power line can electrocutea person.)
What is the correct use of electrocuted?
Usually refers to a person or animal that has had or risks having electricity passed through it (usually unintentionally). "He just got electrocuted" "If you keep poking that you're going to get electrocuted" "The poor thing stepped on the third rail and was electrocuted"

What are the effect if you are electrocuted to 440 system voltage?
Electrocuted is the term given to death by electric shock. You can only be Electrocuted once. There are many factors that affect the result of contact with any voltage system. These include duration, path of current through the body etc. You could have a 440v shock that may only travel through one hand for example. The likely result is some electrical burns just to that hand. If however, the current path , goes from your hand, through your chest to your feet (through your heart) the risk of death is high. The amount of current required to kill a person is very small, around 50 milliamps (50 thousandths of an amp). As Current (Amps) is proportional to voltage, the higher the voltage the higher the current.
What is A ground-fault circuit interrupter?
== == If the current in an ac power circuit is not balanced between hot and neutral, possibly meaning some of the current is going through a human being to ground, a GFCI breaker or receptacle will break the circuit to keep the person from being electrocuted.
Why can't you let go when being electrocuted?
When being electrocuted, the electrical current can cause muscles to contract and tighten, making it difficult to let go of the source of the shock. This is known as "muscle tetany" and can prevent a person from releasing their grip involuntarily.
What will happen to someone who is holding a live wire in the air and not touching the ground?
Nothing will happen , as the current always flows from higher potential to lower potential and if the person is touching only live wire then, there is no other path for the current to flow , but if the person touches the ground , the ground is at "0" potential, so, the current tries to flow from live wire to the ground via person , so the person gets shock in that case but not when a person is only touching the live wire and not the ground.
How do you draw a ninja?

How can a virus spread from person to person?
Most cough, cold and flu viruses are thought to be passed from person to person by contact with respiratory droplets. Contact canoccur by direct bodily contact (such as kissing) or touching something with virus on it (such as shaking hands with someone who has the flu) and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes.
How does the virus travel?
Through Bodily Fluids
Is it safe to touch a person who has been electrocuted?
Yes, the electricity goes through them and out their feet. only during static charge can another person or object be shocked. Electrocution only happens when electricity is able to pass through something to the ground.
Can cold be transferred?
Yes, cold can be transferred from person to person through droplets from coughing or sneezing, as well as through touching contaminated surfaces and then touching the face. Cold viruses can be transmitted easily in close contact settings.
