Why do we experience an electric shock when we touch the current carrying conductor?
Answers
Answer with explanation :
↪ Our body is a good conductor of electricity because about 70 % of our body is water .
↪ Although water is a bad conductor of electricity , impure water is a good conductor because impurities increase conductivity .
↪ Our body has some dissolved nutrients in water and hence we are good conductors of electricity .
↪ Hence we are sensitive to electricity and our body allows good amount of electricity to flow through it .
↪ This makes us feel the response of our body , for the stimulus electricity .
↪ The shock received by us is a just a response of the body due to the change in the environment .
NOTE :
↪ Stimulus is the change in the environment which causes us to react .
↪ Response is the change brought about to counteract the stimulus.
