Help, Thanks If two electric fences have the same voltage how can one fence give off more of a shock then the other? Explain what must be different about the electrical settings of the circuit.
The voltage is the driving force that will cause a greater or smaller electrical current depending on the electrical resistance of the fences to the flow of electricity. If one electric fence has a greater resistance to the flow of electricity, then with the formula\[R=\frac{ V }{ I }\] we can deduce that the current for the fence with the greater resistance will be smaller than for the fence with smaller resistance which will be greater. The electrical shock depends on the electric current which depends on the electrical resistance.
electric shock is always related with the current ,not potential.the more the amount of current that pass through the human body more would be the impact. now potential is a factor that would decide the amount of current. if both fence are designed with the same amount of pot.. then for more current to flow the resitance should be lower V=IR thus the fence which would give off more shock should be designed with a lower value of R
