Electric shock


Recommended Posts

Uhm, why's this in Astronomy and Cosmology?

 

It's a physiological matter. The current causes electrolysis and hence burns. If it's AC or pulsed it also causes strong nervous stimulation, it can result in dangerous ventricular fibrillation.

Does anybody know why we are thrown away during elictric shock?
The electric current traveling through our bodies causes our muscles to contract. This reaction will cause involuntary musclar reactions.

 

 

Why we die?
These involuntary musclar reactions can cause cardiac arrest, (heart failure). Our heart is after all a large muscle.

 

 

Whether Lightning strike and elictric shock are alike?
Yes; electric current whether lighting or from houshold current are basically the same thing. The flow of electrons from a potential to a place which lacks resulting in a balance.

 

BTW, welcome to Hypography Dinesh_college...........enjoy the discourse.
