Open in App
Solution
An electric shock is the
physiological reaction from the human body when electric current passes through
the body.
An electric shock occurs
when a person comes into contact with an electrical energy source. Electrical
energy flows through a portion of the body causing a shock. Exposure to
electrical energy may result in no injury at all or may result in devastating
damage or as fatal as death also. Many people get electric shocks obtained from
objects such as electrical appliances, electrical wires, and electrical
circuits when touched.
