Why Human body feel Electric shock ?? n in an Electric train during running , We didnt feel any Sho..

Answer / rakesh

Unfortunately our body is a pretty good conductor of
electricity, The golden rule is Current takes the lowest
resistant path if you have insulation to our feet as the
circuit is not complete(wearing rubber footwear which doing
some repairs is advisable as our footwear is a high
resistance path not much current flows through our body)
The electric train is well insulated from its electrical system.

Answer / nitin narwal

in a train we take one terminal 4m the overhead lines and
2nd trough wheel to rails.it means the whole train is
grounded and no chance of shock

Answer / prashant

even if we touch the live wire we don't get any shock
untill u r in air n while travelling in train the engine is
the only part touching the live wire. and the whole engine
is well insulated with the insulator above engine so no
chance of shock

Answer / latika

Feeling electrical shock means closing of the circuit
through the human body. Current gets path through our flesh
and blood to the earth.
In electrically operated trains power is extracted from
overhead bus through a insulated system to run electrical
motors so there is no chance of getting electrocuted.
Moreover the train made of steel/iron is well grounded so in
case of insulation failure also there is no electrocution of
passengers. Because current chooses the easiest,shortest and
lesser resistive path to find the earth.

Answer / veeranna.hooli

Because when we are connected to ground. That time that is
one close loop so we get electric shock feel.
And
Electricity shocks us, because it is an outside force that
interferes with the internal electricity our bodies' nervous
systems generate

Answer / sankalp

The body of coach is a good conductor when any charge or current flow it directly goes to earth throgh wheels .As our body resistance is high as com paired to this iron path so current always finds low resistance path to grounds directly .It is same as no electric field inside charged hollow conductor of cylindrical surface .

Answer / atif rasheed khan

if we check the engine or any engine which is been starting
or running through some electricity sources like batteries,
motors etc etc, we will come to know that one terminal of
the engine self(in diesel staring engine)or electric train
is connected to the main phase(in case of AC transmission
line at train lines)or positive terminal of the battery ,
while the other terminal of engine is connected to the
metallic body of the vehicle or train, thus it completes the
circuit and we get the required job.
these connection to the train engine or other vehicle are
well insulated from the other parts of the body, so
therefore we not got any shock while sitting or journey in
train.

Answer / harsh

dear friend
train is totaly insulated from live conductors so no need
to think about the shock.

Answer / anshul dixit

humen body is a good condoctor of electricity so we feel
shock if circuit is completed through our feets bt whole
train is well protected & insulated with proper insulators
thts why we dnt feel any shock.
