What casues electric?

Electricity is caused by the flow of electric charge (usually electrons) through a conductor. When there is a potential difference, or voltage, applied across a conductor, it creates an electric field that causes the movement of electric charge, resulting in the flow of electricity.


Differences between the four main types of nuclear radiation alpha particles beta particles gamma rays and neutron emission?

Alpha particles are composed of two protons and two neutrons and have low penetrating power; beta particles are high-speed electrons or positrons with moderate penetrating power; gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic radiation with high penetrating power; neutron emission involves the release of neutrons with no charge and high penetrating power. Each type of radiation causes different ionization effects in matter and poses different risks to human health.

What blast effect causes trauma by shrapnel?

The blast effect that causes trauma by shrapnel is primarily known as "fragmentation." When an explosive device detonates, it generates a shock wave and produces debris or shrapnel from the casing or surrounding materials. This high-velocity debris can cause severe injuries, penetrating wounds, and lacerations to individuals in the vicinity. The extent of trauma often depends on the size, velocity, and material of the shrapnel as well as the proximity of the victims to the explosion.


What are the chracteristics of a shrapnel wound?

Shrapnel wounds (generally during war time) comes in various forms: * Shrapnel is extremely sharp and it's caused by a bomb or grenade (booby traps). The thrust can sever a head or limbs. * Shrapnel can embed itself into a human body destroying organs, or, if the poor soldier is lucky enough it can be removed. * Shrapnel causes paralysis in the less fortunate (severs the spinal column.) * Shrapnel can also enter the gut area and cause severe damage laying the person's stomach wide open. * Shrapnel can enter the body at any angle and can be in extremely small pieces which is difficult for the surgeon to remove.
