Presentation Transcript

  1. Dispatch #4 • Please take notes on the following passage: • A short circuit is a connection that allows current to take the path of least resistance. Touching a frayed wire causes a short circuit, since current can flow through the person rather than through the wire. Since the new path has less resistance, the current can be very high. Many bodily functions, such as heartbeat, breathing, and muscle movement, are controlled by electrical signals. Because of this electric shocks can be fatal.

  2. Notes • Short circuit-when an electric current takes the path of least resistance-touching a frayed wire • Less resistance can cause a higher current • Electric shocks can be fatal because they can disrupt natural electric currents in the body that control vital bodily functions (ex-heartbeat, muscle movement) • (2011) Interactive Science: Forces and Energy.
