when somebody gets an electrical shock what actually happens to his body?

you are actualy cooking your body from the inside out

Friction in some materials causes electrons to be knocked free, resulting in a buildup of negative charge.  Enough of that builds up in your clothing and it's going to want to equalize itself by going to ground - a doorknob for example.  It gets there through your finger.  Static electricity shocks are basically a scaled-down version of what happens when lightning hits the earth.

It's called a defibrillator.  \n\nA defibrillator is a medical device used in the defibrillation of the heart. It consists of a central unit and a set of two electrodes. The central unit provides a source of power and control. The two electrodes are placed directly on or in the patient. The device is designed to deliver an electric shock to the patient, in an effort to stop ventricular fibrillation (heart attack).

Basically when you are excersizing your muscles store energy and when your muscles exceed the amount of force that can be put on them you feel an electric shock released from your muscles due to over working your muscles.

electrical shock is no joke if your talking 110vac or higher, it can cause heart failure you should be monitored for 24 hrs, also you could be burnt in the inside of your body. less of 1 amp can kill you

While any amount of current over 10 milliamps (0.01 amp) is capable of producing painful to severe shock, currents between 100 and 200 mA (0.1 to 0.2 amp) are lethal. Currents above 200 milliamps (0.2 amp), while producing severe burns and unconsciousness, do not usually cause death if the victim is given immediate attention. Resuscitation, consisting of artificial respiration, will usually revive the victim

Ok... I read the answers previously posted and they all sound reasonable close to the truth, so I'll leave them be.. they did fail to mention how a person is actually killed by a lightning strike... So I'll answer this for you...\nYour body uses the flow of charged ions to control many processes (i.e. Muscle movement, nerve signalling).  The flow of charge is more commonly known as electricity.  The average membrane potential in a human is -70 kilojoules(kJ), and the channels in your cells membrane can be triggered by an impulse of only about 20 kJ.  So when you get a current through your body with a potenial of thousands of volts... obviously there is going to be a disruption of the charge gradient.  Depending on the path of the current through the body, the effects will vary... the most dangerous path is for the current to travel through your heart.  Since your Heart is a muscle and is is controlled by an "electrical" signal, this extreme voltage can cause an over fibrulation of the cardiac muscles and essentially render then useless... kind of like if you were to take a slinky and stretch it out as fa as you can... its not goign to contract again, and is not something that can be easily fixed.  Hope this helps!

I will only point you in the right direction. It is a side effect of shock. Also it has to do with ones pain tollerance. Someone who is exposed more to pain can handle more pain because they have developed coping skills. Others will give in to shock. But there is no set level. It is different for everyone, and generaly based on mindset and past experiences, and sometimes training.

The groin is mostly muscle and nerves. When kicked the nerves send shock waves through the body that feels like electric currents. Imagine sticking your tongue to a electric outlit. Kinda feels the same except their is no explosion LOL

a friend of mine was wrongly committed to an institution. he told me that the electric shock therapy that he received would render him unable to talk, he could hardly move afterwards, they woke him up every morning at 5 and strapped him to a chair and shocked him. His family would come to visit in the afternoon, he would sit in a chair unable to talk to them, unable to sit up straight, they would ask the doctors what was wrong with him, the doctor would shake his head, and they would walk away and cry and he would cry. \n\nI feel deeply sorry for anyone who has undergone this sort of thing.

unlikely the lightning will strike you directly.  most likely cause of why people get shocked inside their house is because lightning can travel through the water pipes and the electrical wires.  if you are on the phone, washing the dishes, or taking a shower, chances are you will get shocked.

It is very unlikey that you would survive the current associated with that sort of electroporation, as it would be quite substantial to effect you in the same way it effects the cells used to generate hybridomas. For example, people struck by lightning sometimes display some symptoms you might expect from a minor electroporation effect. In short, the current necessary to have the effect would likely hurt you in many ways, like stopping your heart, than the electroporation would.

There are two major things that can happen to you when you are electrocuted.With enough voltage your heart will go into a lethal rhythm that can only be corrected with "shocking" by a health professional. A serious burn can also occur if the voltage is high enough.She probably threw up because it scared her to death.The choice to take her to an e.r. is up to you.Place plastic caps in receptacles for child safety.

physical injury could be, it might break upon you during disaster type situations, other risks include radiation which will affect your heart function

not neccessarily, it really depends if your wearing shoes or not. of course your asking, how do i verify this?\n\nwell their is this thing called conductors and instulators. conductors means current can go through and insulators means it can't. the reason why humans get charged up because their friction causes electrons to build up in their body.\n\nso basically, touch someone else for fun and you might verify that shock.

When you get hit your body takes a beating.  Everything in your body shifts forward then back from the impact.  The bruising is caused from the injury when something is hit to a certain force causing bleeding under your skin.

TO GET SHOCK THERE SHOULD EXIST A SHORT CONTACT THAT MEANS IF BIRD TOUCHES ONLY PHASE WIRE OR NEUTRAL WIRE IT DOESNT GET SHOCH BUT IF IT ACCIDENTALLY TOUCHES BOTH THEN IT WILL DIE
