Questions and Answers

1.

You should have your CD player plugged in next to the bath tub. It makes it easier for you to skip songs while bathing.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Having a CD player plugged in next to the bath tub is not safe as it can cause electrocution or damage to the device due to water exposure. It is important to keep electronic devices away from water to ensure personal safety and prevent accidents. Therefore, the statement is false.

2.

When you want to unplug something, grab onto the plug and pull. Do not pull the cord.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
When you want to unplug something, it is advisable to grab onto the plug and pull rather than pulling the cord. This is because pulling the cord can put strain on the cord itself, causing it to weaken or even break over time. By grabbing onto the plug, you have a better grip and can exert a more controlled force while unplugging, reducing the risk of damage to the cord.

If you are outside during a lighting storm find a tree to hide under so you won't get wet.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
This statement is false because seeking shelter under a tree during a lightning storm is extremely dangerous. Trees are more likely to be struck by lightning, and taking shelter under one increases the risk of being injured or killed by a lightning strike. It is safer to find a sturdy building or a fully enclosed vehicle for protection during a lightning storm.

More men than women get struck by lightening every year in the United States.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
More men than women get struck by lightning every year in the United States. This statement is true because statistically, men are more likely to engage in outdoor activities and occupations that put them at a higher risk of being struck by lightning. Additionally, men tend to be less cautious during thunderstorms, which further increases their chances of being struck. Therefore, the higher number of lightning strikes on men compared to women is a result of behavioral and occupational factors.

Electricians or people who work with electricity usually wear shoes that will help absorb an electrical shock to prevent them from getting hurt.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Electricians or people who work with electricity wear shoes that can absorb electrical shocks to protect themselves from injury. This is because working with electricity poses a risk of electric shock, which can be dangerous or even fatal. Wearing shoes with insulation and shock-absorbing properties helps to minimize the risk of injury by preventing the flow of electricity through the body. Therefore, it is true that electricians or people who work with electricity typically wear shoes designed to absorb electrical shocks.

Electricity is always trying to find the shortest path to the ground. So if you are touching a power line and the ground, the electricity will travel through you.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
When a person touches a power line and the ground, electricity will flow through them because electricity always seeks the shortest path to the ground. This is due to the principle of electrical conductivity, where materials that conduct electricity allow the flow of electric current. In this scenario, the person becomes part of the path of least resistance for the electricity to reach the ground, resulting in potential harm or injury. Therefore, the statement "True" accurately describes this phenomenon.

Rate this question:
7.

As long as you are not standing on the ground there is no way for you to get an electric shock.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement is false because it is possible to get an electric shock even if you are not standing on the ground. Electric shocks can occur when there is a difference in electrical potential between your body and an object or surface that you come into contact with, regardless of whether you are on the ground or not. Therefore, it is important to be cautious and take necessary safety precautions to avoid electric shocks in any situation.

Rate this question:
8.

Water is a conductor. That means that electricity can easily move through it. But don't worry, because electricity can't go through you.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Water is not a conductor of electricity. In fact, pure water is actually an insulator and does not allow electricity to pass through it easily. However, impurities or dissolved substances in water can make it conductive to some extent. So, while water itself is not a conductor, impure water or water with dissolved substances can conduct electricity. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

Rate this question:
9.

If a cord on a appliance is damaged, do not use the appliance. You could get an electric shock.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
If a cord on an appliance is damaged, it is not safe to use the appliance because there is a risk of getting an electric shock. A damaged cord can expose the wires inside, which increases the chances of coming into contact with live electricity. Using the appliance in such a condition can be dangerous and potentially harmful to the user. Therefore, the correct answer is true.

Rate this question:
10.

Electric shock can cause muscle spasms, weakness, shallow breathing, rapid pulse, severe burns, unconsciousness, or death.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Electric shock can cause a range of symptoms and effects on the body, including muscle spasms, weakness, shallow breathing, rapid pulse, severe burns, unconsciousness, and even death. These symptoms occur due to the disruption of the body's electrical system caused by the electric shock. The electric current can interfere with the normal functioning of muscles, nerves, and organs, leading to various physiological responses. Therefore, it is true that electric shock can cause these symptoms and potentially be fatal.
