AI Thread Summary
The user experiences electric shocks when touching metal objects after having a surgical implant removed from their right hand. They describe the sensation as similar to being bitten by an ant and report receiving shocks of 5 to 10 volts. The issue began following the removal of the implant, raising questions about a possible connection. The user seeks explanations beyond typical static electricity, indicating a concern for a specific underlying cause. The discussion highlights the need for further investigation into the effects of surgical implants and their removal on electrical sensations in the body.

hi, I'm a web developer so i usually stay in front of a computer for almost 12 hrs a day.

my question is, when i get up from my computer and hold a metal, ex. faucet or a spoon, or even a refrigerator holder i get electrocuted.
FYI, by the way, i got a surgical implant in my right hand because of a severe breakage of my bone. and the implant stayed in my arms for about 6 or 7 years, but its been removed last year.
is it connected? I'm just curios because i get electrocuted for 5 up to 10 volts..

its like I'm being bitten by a big big ant... ?

is there any explanation with this?? it all started after the removal of my hand implant.

Is there any reason why you don't think it's a run-of-the-mill static shock? How is it different?
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
