Sea fish that gives you nasty shock?
The electric eel is a type of sea fish that can deliver a powerful electric shock to defend itself or stun prey. Its ability to generate electrical currents comes from specialized cells in its body called electrocytes. The shock of an electric eel can be strong enough to deter predators or even incapacitate small fish.
What species amazonian electric variety packs a 650 volt wallop?
Electric eel. It should be understood the old demonstration with strobed and flashing lights a the New York Aquarium was simulated, there are serious problems in getting accurate conduction of electric currents in a fish tank, quite apart from shock hazards to aquarium personnel. the eels are real enough the special effects are (Show -Go-Round) owing to grave pracxtical difficulties. they should explain this to the viewers that what they are seeing is simulated electrical discharge. Museums and Zoos should not be involved in faking science even with a good motive. ZAP!
Can animals and plants get electric shock?
Yes, both animals and plants can be affected by electric shocks. Animals that come into contact with electrical currents can be electrocuted, while plants can experience damage to their cells and tissues due to the flow of electricity. It is important to exercise caution to prevent harm to both animals and plants in areas where electrical hazards exist.
Why birds do not get electric current when they sit on electric wire?
In order for electricity to shock something it needs to be touching the ground. Electricity goes through the body and back into the ground. Since the crow is in no way touching the ground the electricity has no where to go and thus can not shock the crow. If you touch the wire and are not touching anything that conducts electricity (like metal) and are not touching the ground you will not get shocked either. But if you stand on the ground and touch the wire you will get shocked.
Why do birds never get a shock when they stand on electric wire please answer in Tamil?
They do. but it you probably see them standing on phone land lines
What is the effect if there is a sudden flow of electric current?
electric shock
Who is resposible voltage or current for electric shock?
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.
What causes Electric shock injuries?
Electric shock injuries are caused by lightning or electric current from a mechanical source passing through the body
What determines the damage caused to the human body by an electric shock?
You experience an electric shock when an electric current enters your body. A current can enter your body when you accidentally become part of an electric circuit. Whether you recieve a deadly shock depends on the amount of current that flows into your body. Answered on: October 24, 2011.
What animal can produce an electric current?
There are eels that can produce an electric shock. They are called electric eels.
How do you get electric shock?
Electricity tends to travel towards the ground. when we touch an electrical substance, our body acts as a conductor and the current passes through our body to the ground. this is how we get an electric shock.
Which animal does not react to current shock?
Type your answer here... electric eel
What determines how severe an electric shock will be?
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.
Why did an mp3 give an electric shock when touched?
because of the electric current use to produce sounds music
What is the difference from static shock and electric shock?
Static shock is a sudden discharge of static electricity, often felt as a mild tingling or stinging sensation when touching an object. Electric shock, on the other hand, is the flow of electric current through a person's body, which can result in injury or even death depending on the intensity and duration of the shock. Static shock is generally harmless, while electric shock can be dangerous.
What is an RCD cut the current to a circuit?
RCD cut the current to the circuit while preventing the electric shock
Why does a cow that touches an electric fence experience a mild shock?
When the cow comes into contact with the fence, it becomes an electric ground which sends an electric current into the cow, through the cow, and into the ground. The pain experienced from the shock is due to the current that flows through the cow.
