MDCAT Physics MCQ #705

1. Question 1

   Q1. A person is working on a live electrical circuit and touches a non-conductive object. 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 ground, allowing the current to safely flow to the ground

   Explanation: Touching a non-conductive object causes a person to become a ground, allowing the current to safely flow to the ground.
