RE: The Electricity and Some Myths

in #stemng6 years ago (edited)

@greenrun, thanks for sharing this piece. You just made me remember something. Though, didn't really know yet if it's an electricity myth or reality but I do hear people say it. I never tried it before and I don't think I will.

The saying says if you touch a live wire, and hold your breath, you won't be electrocuted

Is this a myth or a fact? @greenrun

Sort:  

That's a myth, you can only touch one live wire without connection to the ground and be safe-the same way a bird can perch on one wire of high voltage conductor; since electricity can only flow if there's a difference in potential.

OK! Thanks for the feed back. Now I gorrit!
