∙ 16y agothe human body is a conductor of electricity
human is not a good conductor because if u can touch the water heater with your hand then the heat can't flow through out your body that's why the human body does not a good conductor.
Yes, humans are relatively poor conductors of heat compared to metals like iron or copper. This is because human skin and tissues have a lower thermal conductivity, meaning they do not transfer heat as efficiently. This is why we can touch objects that are hot without getting burned immediately.
Conductor. Our body is full of electricity, that is why you feel a shock when electricity is conducted from our body to another body.
Yes, because if it was an insulator.. then we wouldn't be able to be electrocuted.. why the human body is an insulator is because the human body contains a lot of water
Pure water hardly conducts electricity at all. You have to dissolve a lot of stuff in pure water to make it as good a conductor as the human body is.
Human tissue can act as a conductor of electrical signals, as the body's nervous system uses electrical signaling to transmit information throughout the body. However, the conductivity of human tissue varies depending on factors such as the type of tissue, moisture content, and temperature.
Human body is a good conductor so charges could be drained out
A human body can fit this criteria.
Yes, the human body can conduct electricity due to the presence of water and salts in our tissues. This is why electrical signals can be transmitted through our nerves and muscles to enable bodily functions. However, the conductivity of the human body is lower compared to metals, for example.
Yes, steel has a much lower resistance than the human body therefore it will conduct better.
Yes, the human body is a poor conductor of heat due to its high water content. This means that heat does not easily flow through the body, helping to maintain a relatively constant internal temperature.
