When we get the electric Shock, what happen to our body ?

Do you ever get electric shock at your house ? Fortunately, everything is alright. But, you should concern that the electric shock can kill human just in second just depend on its number of electric power. To learn what is electric shock, let's find out at the next description below.

Electric current passing through the body, particularly alternating current at power frequencies of 50 Hz and 60 Hz, may disrupt the nervous system, causing muscular reaction and the painful sensation of electric shock. The most common reaction is to be thrown off the conductor as a result of the muscular contraction. However, in a small number of instances, the consequence is death from cardiac arrest, or from ventricular fibrillation (where the heart muscle beats in a spasmodic and irregular fashion) or from respiratory arrest.

The physiological effects are largely determined by the magnitude and frequency of the current, the waveform (for example, continuous sine wave, or half wave rectified sine wave, or pulsed waveform), its duration, and the path it takes through the body. The path that the current takes through the body has a significant effect on the impedance. For example, the impedance for a hand-to-chest path is in the order of 50 per cent of the impedance for a hand-to-foot path. Moreover, the current’s path through the body is a significant determinant of the effect on the heart.

So, when you are working with the electrical stuff, you must always bear in mind to keep your safety by using the rubber shoes, rubber gloves and etc.
