Electrical Fence.


Question Posted Saturday April 4 2009, 1:54 am


Hey, how much would it hurt if I grabbed onto an
electric fence?

Also, would it shock us all if I grabbed it, and
like, 5 people linked arms with me?

It will hurt a lot, and more than likely. Do not attempt this.

Electric fences meant for animals are moderately painful. 5-10 times worse than a static shock. You will involuntarily move your hand away from the fence as soon as you are shocked. Your arm will be numb for a few minutes afterward.

You should not touch an electric fence used for security. It could kill you.

Electricity takes the shortest path out of your body. If you are not wearing shoes, the electricity will likely go out through the ground. If you are wearing shoes and not touching anything except another person, the electricity may pass to them. It will get weaker for every person and object it passes through.

Touching an electric fence meant for animals is usually not harmful, but if you have any kind of heart condition it could be dangerous. Consult a doctor.

Are you planning on doing this?
It probably will.
Since it's called an electric fence for a reason.
Electric current would probably stay the same or gain power as it passes through because electricity runs through a person's body to begin with.
As the curren passed from you, to one person, to the next, and to the next, it would probably gain potential energy with each successive person.
