Question
What constitutes an electric shock?
✓

Answer


Living organisms are electrical conductors. Electric shock is the result of the passage of electric current through our body. During electric shock we experience an extreme stimulation of nerves and muscles. It needs a minimum of $1 mA$ of electric current to pass through our body for us to experience a shock.
