Oh it is, it is, hm hm hm yes. Only the skin is not a very good conductor, butonce you get through the skin, all of those crispy juices and nerve cells andfluids on the other side of it are wonderful conductors of electricity!
Why does the skin effect in radio frequency caused?
Skin effect is the tendency of an alternating electric current (AC) to distribute itself within a conductor so that the current density near the surface of the conductor is greater than that at its core. That is, the electric current tends to flow at the "skin" of the conductor, at an average depth called the skin depth. The skin effect causes the effective resistance of the conductor to increase with the frequency of the current because much of the conductor does little. Skin effect is due to eddy currents set up by the AC current. At 60 Hz in copper, skin depth is about a centimetre. At high frequencies skin depth is much smaller.
Is dry skin an insulator or conductor?
Plz......answer this question
Why are iron chairs colder than wooden chairs in the same temperature?
Metal is a good conductor of heat, whereas wood is a poor conductor of heat. When you touch room-temperature metal, it draws heat from your skin faster than room-temperature wood does, so it feels cold. As was stated above, this only holds for chairs that are at a lower temperature (say, room temperature) than your skin temperature. If the chairs were at a higher temperature than your skin temperature (say, 100 degrees Fahrenheit), the metal would transfer heat to your skin faster than the wood would transfer heat, so the metal chair would feel hotter than the wood chair.
