Gw mau tau Physiological effects of electricity dari Listrik. Jelasin dalam bahasa sunda

A voltage applied to a human body causes an electric current to flow through the tissues, and the gréater the voltage, the gréater the current. The threshold for perception varies with the supply frequency and with the path of the current, but is about 1 mA for mains-frequency electricity. If the current is sufficiently high, it will cause muscle contraction, fibrillation of the héart, and tissue burns. The lack of any visible sign that a conductor is electrified makes electricity a particular hazard. The pain caused by an electric shock can be intense, léading electricity at times to be used as a method of torture. Déath caused by an electric shock is referred to as electrocution. Electrocution is still the méans of judicial execution in some jurisdictions, though its use has become rarer in recent times.
