What is Electric Shock Explain
The human failure in handling the electrical components or repairing the distribution system without switching off the supply,an electric current touches or flows through the body, it is known as an electric shock. The ultimate effect of electric shock on human body may be death.The result of electric shock on human body may be fatal but it may be due to: (a) Fibrillation of heat i.e. damaging the heart to small pieces causing the stopping of breathing. (b) Stopping of breathing action caused by blockade in the nervous system causing respiration. (c) Local over heating action or burning of the body due to sparking. The fibrillation of the hart is the most serious cause of death and there is no cure, although there is a possibility of rescuing a man who has suffered by the later two cause. FACTORS ON WHICH INTENSITY OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK DEPEND (i) The current strength : It has been experienced that in alternating current of low frequency , the current bet
