The dangers of electricity

The video explains how electricity can flow through water and people, making it dangerous. It describes a scenario where a farmer unknowingly positions his tractor under a power line, leading to a potential electric shock hazard. The video highlights the importance of understanding conductors and insulators, emphasizing that rubber tires can prevent electricity from reaching the ground. However, when the farmer exits the tractor, he becomes a conductor, risking a severe electric shock. The video concludes with safety tips to prevent electric shocks, such as avoiding contact with exposed wires and overhead power lines.

Why can humans conduct electricity?

• Because they are always grounded

• Because they are mostly made of water

• Because they are made of metal

• Because they wear rubber shoes

What prevents electricity from flowing through the tractor to the ground?

• The farmer's clothing

• The metal arms of the tractor

• The rubber tires

• The overhead power line

What happens when the farmer exits the tractor?

• The power line breaks

• The tractor stops working

• He is completely safe

• He becomes a conductor for electricity

What is a potential consequence of a large electric shock?

• It can make you feel dizzy

• It can stop your heart

• It can make you stronger

• It can improve your vision

Which of the following is a safety tip to avoid electric shocks?

• Touch exposed wires carefully

• Use metal objects in sockets
