Q & A

  • What is an electric shock?

    -An electric shock occurs when electric current passes through the body, potentially causing serious internal and external injuries.

  • How does electric shock cause injury?

    -Electric shock can cause injury through direct contact with high voltage, which can lead to damage to tissues, nerves, and organs.

  • What are some possible effects of electric current passing through the body?

    -The effects include muscle contractions, burns, nerve damage, and in severe cases, heart failure or death.

  • What are some common causes of electric shock?

    -Common causes include touching live wires, electrical appliances coming into contact with water, and faulty wiring or equipment.

  • How can you prevent electric shock from happening?

    -Preventive measures include avoiding contact with live wires, keeping electrical appliances away from water, and using properly grounded outlets.

  • What should you do if someone experiences an electric shock?

    -Immediately disconnect the power source, avoid touching the person directly, and seek medical help as soon as possible.

  • Why is it important to have proper grounding in electrical systems?

    -Proper grounding helps direct stray electrical current safely into the ground, reducing the risk of electric shock.

  • How can faulty wiring lead to electric shock?

    -Faulty wiring can expose live wires, increasing the chances of accidental contact and leading to electric shock.

  • What is one way to prevent electric shock in homes?

    -Installing ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) in areas prone to moisture, like bathrooms and kitchens, can help prevent electric shock.

  • Why is it important to replace worn-out electrical cords?

    -Worn-out cords can expose wires, making them dangerous to touch and increasing the risk of electric shock.
