Why can't electricity flow through plastic?
Because metal and plastic arent the same materials so metal goes with the flow through static electricity but plastic cant.
Can electricity pass through a kitchen counter to the ground?
A normal kitchen counter is a good insulator for the voltage potentials available in a kitchen (110 V in North America, 220 V in Europe, etc.). However, in the house where I grew up the kitchen sink had a metal trim where the sink meets the counter, and there was also a metal trim where the counter meets the wall and also along the front edge of the counter. We had a slide-out cutting board just below the counter level, and one day a toaster was plugged in, on the cutting board, and in contact with the metal trim. At the same time, a bottle brush with a metal handle was in contact with both the metal trim around the counter and the metal trim around the sink. We were not aware of this combination of bad placements until after my mom was electrocuted. She wasn't injured, but it sure gave us a scare. Fortunately all kitchen outlets installed in U.S. kitchens (and bathrooms and garages) today must have ground fault circuit interrupters.
What is a ripple counter?
A ripple counter is a counter in which state transitions of one or more flip flops are triggered by the outputs of other flip flops in the circuit. If all flip flops in the counter are triggered by a common clock pulse, then the counter is called a "synchronous counter". a ripple counter is a counter that will ripple through the information sequentialy. .
What is the difference between a conductor and an insulator in terms of electrons?
Electrons are part of an atom, in elements etc. Electrodes are types of medical equipment places on certain parts of your body, that send electrical pulses to your muscles to stimulate them.
How do charged conductors and insulators differ from each other?
Insulators prevent electricity or energy from going through them. Conductors allow electricity/energy to easily pass through.
What would happen if electricity ran through you?
You are electrocuted but only happens if you are grounded
What is the correct use of electrocuted?
Usually refers to a person or animal that has had or risks having electricity passed through it (usually unintentionally). "He just got electrocuted" "If you keep poking that you're going to get electrocuted" "The poor thing stepped on the third rail and was electrocuted"
How can a bird go on a wire and not die?
Birds don't get electrocuted unless they touch something else besides just the wire -- the electricity will then flow through their bodies toward whatever they're touching. Sometimes you do see birds that have been killed by the electric wires.
Can you get electrocuted for a 7.5 watt bulb?
The wattage has nothing to do with the amount of electricity that is running through it; it has to do with the amount of energy that is converted into light. If the bulb is a 125v bulb, even if it is only 7.5 watts, yes, you can be electrocuted from it.
How many people killed by down power lines a year?
600 people a year are killed by power lines. Some are direct contact meaning by touching the power line. Some are indirect contact meaning by touching an object that was touching the power line. The electricity flow right through the object and through the person. This person is instantly electrocuted and killed. And the victim's burns are black. If you fly a kite or cut trees make sure there are no power lines close.
Why should an electrician wear rubber gloves while repairing electric switch?
Because electricity does not pass through rubber. So they can not get electrocuted.
How did Benjamin Franklin discovered between lightning and electricity?
Ben Franklin flew a kite during a lightning storm and was electrocuted through the wires in the kite.
Is it safe to touch a person who has been electrocuted?
Yes, the electricity goes through them and out their feet. only during static charge can another person or object be shocked. Electrocution only happens when electricity is able to pass through something to the ground.
If You're Touching A Counter With My Left Hand And You Get Shocked With Your Right Hand Will The Electricity Travel To Your Left Hand If It's The Quickest Route To The Ground?
Most of the electric current will pass through the path through the body which offers the least resistance, NOT the 'quickest' path, as speed doesn't come into it.
When you feel electricity run through you when he touches you what does it mean?
He is touching something with an electrical current and has made you part of the circuit.
Why can't we get electrocuted with pool lights?
water is a pretty good conductor, and electricity will flow through the water freely and shock anything within the water or close to it
Can you get electrocuted while in the computer?
Sort of. If there's a nearby lightning strike in the cables (wall socket, modem...)hooked up to the computer, then electricity can travel through the cables and into the person using the computer.
