  1. Question 1

    Q1. A person is using a faulty electrical appliance that produces an alternating current. What is the likely effect on their body?

    • A) The person becomes a conductor, allowing the current to flow through their body
    • B) The person becomes a resistor, limiting the current flowing through their body
    • C) The person becomes a capacitor, storing the electric charge
    • D) The person becomes a ground, allowing the current to safely flow to the ground

    Answer: The person becomes a conductor, allowing the current to flow through their body

    Explanation: Alternating current can cause a person to become a conductor, allowing the current to flow through their body, potentially causing harm.
