I swear this isn’t a troll question, it’s always been my understanding that electricity takes the path of least resistance, and silver is one of the best conducting metals, so if you did the sterotypical stick a fork in a power socket why does the power do anything to you when it can go through the much less resistive silver?
In: Physics
Electricity follows the pathetic of least resistance to the ground. You’re holding the fork, so the electricity goes through the fork to you, and then through you to the ground. This hurts a lot.
