Does our Electric energy stop when we Die?
85034
Ah, is this the Age-Old question you ask, or simple curiosity about Human electrical energy?  \n\nAs I understand it, measurable electrical energy ceases to be monitorable in the body a short time after both the brain and heart have ceased functioning.  Electrical energy is still present for a time after the pronunciation of death, and may be visible as post-mortem twitching.  It takes some time for the chemical and electrical energy to cease being present in the deceased.\n\nNow, since science postulates that energy can be neither created nor destroyed, it is logical to presume that the energy must travel elsewhere.\n\nYour spiritual belief system will answer the next part of the question ... Where does the energy go after death?\n\nIf you believe that the energy is dispersed among all other living entities, then you might be  Taoist.  \n\nIf you beleive that the energy is re-cycled and reconcentrated into another single entity, then you might be Hindu.\n\nIf you believe the energy remains intact but is transported to another place, or dimension, then you beleive in Heaven, and might be a follower of one of many religious teachings. \n\nEtc...\n\nHope this helps.

Not much that I know of.\n\nWhat you say about energy is accurate, however, the energy in the body is maintained by chemical reactions which keep the body warm and at 98.6 F. Energy flows out of the body as heat, and exits the surface of the body as infrared radiation. When you die, the chemical reactions slow to a stop, and the cells break down chemically to give up their last ergs of organized energy. The heat produced also radiates away from the body as infrared radiation until the body reaches equilibrium with its environment and absorbs as much infrared 'heat' radiation as it emits.\n\nSo far as we know, that is all there is to the process of death, and there is no violation of energy conservation.\n\nHope this helps,\nUltimeaciax

Actually, it supon us to judge whether the energy used up is taken as GOOD or WASTED...\nbut our (humans) point electric energy is not considered as harmfull...<for more clarification contact me>

Many forms of energy exist around us. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed from one form to another. If a person ever says that energy is lost, what really happens is that energy is spent or changed into different forms. It never really is lost. For example, if you use water energy to create mechanical energy, you might "lose" some energy by creating heat energy in the form of friction.

no. there is no such case , theroretically. because, according to the law of conservation of energy the total energy in any closed system is constant. however practically some energy is dissipated in a practical case.

Would be...When Hell Freezes Over...be too obvious?\n\nLast week somebody pointed out that when the conveyor belt at the grocery store runs too long or by vibration...we are wasting energy. It was a good point. But this world is set up to waste. \n\nI'm the one at my house trying to get all the lights turned off and all the chairs pushed in at the table! I have issues with slip and fall hazzards too! Kind of unrelated to your question...but we all got a cause!

"Yup. There is nothing after death. It is just like switching off a light bulb."\n\nbut on the other hand the electrical circuitry and infrastructure that powered the light bulb is still there even when the bulb (earthly body) burns out . Bung a new bulb in and who knows?\n\nI'm inclined to believe that when this earthly body burns out the power that motivated it is still there - it's either latent or seeking for a new form.  The "light bulb" is just the external manifestation of thousands of miles of hidden cable, switches, relays, et c, and just because the bublb goes it doesn't negate the existence of all this stuff....

Dead.\n\nThe only source for energy for life on earth is the sun, and the only way that energy gets here is light.

I'm not going to give you the comforting fiction here. I'll just tell you the truth. Nothing happens to people after death. The last thing that happens to a person is the experience of the body failing and then ceasing to function. All the body systems, including brain processing, stop functioning. The individual loses consciousness for the last time. That final experience is the end. The person's lifeless body is then removed, etc. But THE PERSON no longer exists.

What EXACTLY happens to us after we die???

Can, but still in the research stage. If you want to try, you can freeze your body right after death. \n\nThe future technology may make you to resurrect, it is equal to time travel to the future, interesting!

:) Okay. From a strictly scientific standpoint. What does your brain operate on? Electrical energy. We have a scientific law which states; Energy can neither be created, nor destroyed. It can only be altered in form. Okay, the energy in our brains cannot be destroyed, upon the death of our physical bodies. Then what happens to it??? I think there's your Ghosts. Who we are changes form, but is not destroyed. We still exist. I guess maybe it's a science based definition of a soul?

Look in the mirror! Theres the body, the soul and the spirit. It's like a TV.  When  the TV is unplugged, it's just an object (body), doesn't do anything. The electrical plug is the what makes it work (spirit). Plug it in and now you got color, picture, movement. (soul). The soul dies, the body turns to dust, the spirit goes to heaven. The soul is resurrected, joins the spirit, and gets a new body.

The top answer is incorrect.  In both cases, the current woul go on infiniitely, because energy will keep on traveling, but the current will get weaker and weaker, because it will keep spreading aparty, until the ammount of current in negligeble.\n\nHope this helps.

If you touch a live wire or if power lines are downed and you happen to be there or a circuit is short and you touch the pole or street lamp, you will be electricuted by accident.\n\nIn some countries death sentnce is given by electricuting the criminal on an electric chair.

Linmar--i want to propose MY personal theory, which cannot be scientifically proven in any publication to date.  I had a vision one evening after watching a show about spontaneous combustion victims.  One victim was a middle-aged man with a stump for an arm.  He described the event as a mild tingling with no pain, and much to his dismay, his hand and most of his forearm turned to ash.  \n\nUsing his experience, this isn't about fat burning, or too much oxygen, or even about oxidation as we know it.  The material in our bodies has stored chemical potential energy.  We have internal heat generation which keeps our bodies warm.  It is like a clock spring slowly unwinding.\n\nNOW, if you sped up this clock, relative to normal time-space, your energy would dissipate so rapidly, that the object WOULD turn to ash due to the release of heat.  If a human arm dissipates 10 watts every second for the lifetime of the arm, say 70 years, that equals 22*10^9 joules.  THAT"S A LOT OF ENERGY.  Now for instance, if for some reason a time-space continuum intersected with the man, if his arm actually was accidentally inserted into another dimension whose time constant was 100 times our speed, his arm simply aged and died.  All the energy that would have unwound in this time space over the course of 70 years, unwound in minutes or seconds.  If there are time-space defects and other dimensions, it makes sense that entropy may not unwind at the same pace in all spaces.  \n\nIt reminds me that the earth is travelling at thousands of miles per hour through space.  We have no perception of this at all.  But put a cosmic bed post by the earth, and have an impact, BAM!! Bye-bye earth.  I think it is the same thing.  For some unlucky reason, I beleive this particular man had an interdimensional event wherein the potential energy in his arm dissipated very quickly in that other dimension.  \n\nFood for thought--tell me whatchya think.

Electricity doesn't exactly do work.  Electricity is a form of energy that enables other things to do work.  Like food in your body.  Your body does the work, the food provides the energy.  Electricity is one form of stored energy that is extracted from a number of different sources, like coal, oil, the sun, flowing water, or splitting atoms.
