Why do electric shocks happen?

Electric shocks occur when an electrical current passes through a living organism, such as a human or animal. This can happen when a person comes into contact with a live electrical wire or outlet, or when using an electrical appliance that has a faulty connection or insulation.

An electric shock can cause a range of symptoms, depending on the strength and duration of the current, including:

* Tingling or numbness in the affected area

* Muscle cramps or spasms

* Pain

* Difficulty breathing or cardiac arrest in severe cases

Electric shock can also lead to burns, especially if the current passes through the skin. In severe cases, electric shock can cause unconsciousness or even death.

It's important to take safety precautions to prevent electric shocks, such as:

* Only using electrical appliances in good condition and with proper insulation

* Avoiding contact with exposed wires or outlets

* Never using electrical appliances near water or other liquids

* Unplugging electrical appliances when not in use

* If you do experience an electric shock, it's important to seek medical attention immediately.
