Radio Toaster

Radio ToasterIf I dropped a plugged in radio or toaster in a swimming pool, everyone would get electrified?

It will blow the fuse or circuit breaker. The current will move the element to the envelope, which is grounded ... I hope so.
The terminals are flooded anyway and the current rise and shorts everywhere will quickly burn off the device and then running just the small gap between the input terminals to travel around. The rest of the unit will not be more active.
It will not pass through the pool so it can travel anywhere easier and there is an easy path through the input terminals and that's when it happens.
Someone would come close to receiving an electric shock of any kind and not so close could be a thrill and it could damage Pacers heart or other electronic devices to electrocute someone, but seriously you need water in a smaller container, like a bath and a drop of an electrical fire in it or you 'd need a terminal at each end, if the bath is plastic fittings to insulate it so that power can no ground water through pipes, metal ..
The large volume of water in a pool will dissipate the current fairly well unless someone or something in the pool has an easy route to ground for power and he will go in this way. But it should go as far as the first and the resistance of the water means they must be close enough anyway unless the water is very salty or has a lot of bleach in it. With the amount of chlorine needed that nobody would go in the pool anyway.
If the path through the other terminal has less resistance to the flow goes this way and beat you'll need to water very conductive. The salt water that everyone would float or so pumped up with the chlorine could not breathe.
You can hang onto a line 25,000 volt monorail perfectly safe in dry weather. The current will not pass you, if he has nowhere to go. If you catch a steel cable anchored into the ground while you're hanging there ... Well, it's goodbye.
You can see birds sitting on power lines all day. No problem.
Electricity goes where he can find a way to go and then take the easiest. No way, no current.
Here's a funny sea and electricity ..... What a cry of a man.
Electrocute people with nothing bigger than a 9V battery in the sea .... 5000 miles.
He laughs.

try your local pool and see = D

I think so .... seriously do not try ...

Probably not. That'sa lot of water there, so there is a high resistance. In addition, most likely the fuse early release will begin in.

It is possible that people in the pool may feel a shock or electrocution liquidation. But this is not really likely. pool water is not all that great conductor. Even if electricity takes the path of least resistance. The nearest path of least resistance would be the other wire in the cord. Thus, most of the current would probably correctly by the cord connected. Some may go further in the pool where it may or may not be felt. But there is always a chance to be fatal to someone, especially if they have a weak heart or other medical conditions.

No, unless you are one of those little plastic kiddie pools ...
Like the guy said on television, mainly if your talking about a large pool there too much water for the amount of electricity that you ...
those near the camera can feel a burden and those in the pool I feel a jolt, but in a large pool - nah.

Just think of all the ships that have sunk to see who had electrical appliances - those who swim on the COA.
