We have an electric stove that has the heating elements exposed. How do we clean off food, grease, oil etc that has spilled on the element? When we use the stove, it sets off our smoke detector.
It's rare, but it does happen. ..Lightning can produce as much as 300,000 amperes and one billion volts! If it were to hit the ground near the house a fire hydrant the phone lines or electrical lines you would run a high risk of being a victim ..When lightning strikes, the electrical current follows the path of least resistance down to the ground. This means that, given the chance, the current will jump from a worse conductor to a better conductor. And if you happen to be the best conductor around, that current will go right through you. That's why lightning rods are so important: they provide the current with an easy and safe route to the ground..Metal is a good conductor, so if lightning strikes an unprotected house, chances are the current will travel through any metal pipes. What's more, the tap water moving in these pipes contains impurities that help the water conduct electrical current. When you're wet, the natural resistance of your body is cut by half, and the salt and contaminants on your skin decrease your resistance further. So basically, being wet can make the difference between an unpleasant electrical shock and a deadly one..Now, even though plastic pipes are insulated, and therefore, poor conductors of electricity, you should still avoid showering during a thunderstorm. After all, you never know where the plastic pipes hook up with metal fixtures. Your house may contain a metal frame, metal air conditioning and heating systems, metal ducts, and so on. So why take unnecessary risks? Stay safe and wait to shower until after the storm
I am in school at the moment and i would like to find out how that you can get on myspace at school. People are asking to find out questions and not to be told that they should not be going on myspace at school and being told that they should wait til they go home. I dont think that this is acceptable as yahoo answers has been made to get answers to questions and not to be told what you can and cant do. I will be reporting a abuse on people who think that they can just use the system to fool about with things that people can and cant do. Steven.
