The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the mosquitoes are starting to move. He picked up the electric mosquito swatter and waved it in the direction of the mosquito twice, "crack", the mosquito was electrocuted. If we accidentally touch the metal net of the mosquito swatter, will we be stunned?

  Carefully observe, you will find that the metal mesh of the electric mosquito swatter has three layers, the middle is the inner layer, and the inner layer is connected to the power supply. When a mosquito flies between the outer net and the inner net, it can almost be regarded as a conductor due to its good conductivity.

  The air molecules between the inner and outer nets are ionized under a very strong electric field, forming an arc discharge, making a "crack" sound, and the energy generated by the discharge electrocutes the mosquitoes.

  Is it dangerous to touch a mosquito swatter?

  The voltage of an electric mosquito swatter can reach 2000 volts, and the safe voltage that our human body can withstand is less than 36 volts. Is it dangerous if you touch the metal mesh?

  The electric mosquito swatter has an inner net and an outer net. The potential of the outer net is low and will not form a loop with the earth. Therefore, only touching the external network will not get an electric shock. However, if you accidentally put your fingers in and touch the inner network, you will feel a slight electric shock.

  This is because it is electric current that makes people get an electric shock. The electric mosquito swatter has high voltage and large internal resistance, coupled with our human body resistance, the current generated is very small. This current is not harmful to us (but it is enough to electrocute mosquitoes), and will only make you feel a slight sting.

  Although the current of the mosquito swatter is not enough to stun us, this kind of slight touch inductance is not good. Try to avoid touching when using electric mosquito swatter. It should also be noted that when the electric mosquito turns off the power, there will be surplus electricity between the external network and the internal network.
