eli5 Why is touching a live wire dangerous? Doesn’t electricity take the path of least resistance? Wouldn’t your hand be a much worse conductor than a copper wire?
In: Engineering
We are made of salty water, excellent conductor.
Touching a live wire goes up you arm to your heart, stopping it, then down your torso to a leg to the ground.
Gotta be right flavor of electricity, like those plasma toys from Spencer’s won’t do anything, but the real stuff will excite your heart into a locked position & will prolly not restart its rhythm.
