Electricity = voltage + current
To fully understand the dangers of electrical shock, you need to know the basics of what makes up electricity. Electricity is made up of two elements: voltage and current. Voltage and current work hand-in-hand and in ways that directly influence the severity of electrical shock. Consider the analogy of water flowing through a pipe. Think of the water as representing the electricity. Increasing the diameter of the pipe to let more water through is like increasing current. Imagine being under a drain pipe for the Hoover Dam! Increasing the pressure of the water in the pipe is like increasing voltage. You know that even small amounts of water at high pressure can be devastating. The same is true of electricity, where even low voltages at high currents can potentially kill you. |
