I understand why you get harmed if you’re grounded, you’re becoming part of the wire and the electricity is going from you to the earth. what I dont understand is, why the electricity doesnt harm you when youre not touching the ground, isnt it going through you either way? how does it not affect your body?
In: Physics
Like water, electricity flows from “high” to “low”. Imagine two bodies of water, where water from the higher one flows down a waterfall to the lower one. If you were sitting at the top of the waterfall, nothing really happens to you (unless you’re trying to block the water from flowing). If you were at the bottom of the waterfall, the water slams through you.
