What's the electrical current messing up that's causing pain?
much noise said:Care to elaborate? Can't just be nerves, anyway, because I know that sometimes it fries you. And you can't die from a lot of input coming in your nerves. (Can you!?)

mgb_phys said:Along with what maverick said, your muscles are controlled by electrical signals, your heart is a muscle. The big danger from AC electricity is that the 60Hz makes your heart try and beat 60 times per second which exceeds the manufacturers recommended specification by quite a large margin - which generally leads to a failure.
Electricity is a form of energy that can flow through conductive materials, such as the human body. When an electrical current flows through the body, it can cause damage to cells and tissues, resulting in pain and discomfort.
An electric shock can cause a range of effects on the body, depending on the strength and duration of the current. It can disrupt the body's normal electrical signals, leading to muscle contractions, burns, and even cardiac arrest.
Individuals may have different levels of pain tolerance due to factors such as age, overall health, and the location and intensity of the shock. Additionally, the type of current (AC or DC) and the path it takes through the body can also influence the amount of pain felt.
Yes, depending on the strength and duration of the current, electrical shocks can cause permanent damage to the body. This can include nerve damage, tissue necrosis, and long-term effects on the heart and other organs.
To reduce the risk of electric shocks, it is important to follow safety measures such as using properly insulated equipment, avoiding contact with live wires or outlets, and turning off the power before handling electrical devices. Additionally, wearing protective gear and receiving proper training can also help prevent electric shocks.
