I know this is super random but it blew my mind.
My idiot friend got a taser (the civilian type) and he told me he got curious and zapped his wall outlet for a few seconds. I thought that would surely have electrocuted him or killed him. I know plastic is an i insulator and I’m assuming the taser is plastic on the handle but still, I know a taser doesn’t have enough amps to kill you as it’s mainly volts but I’ve always heard a wall outlet has enough amps to at least shock you pretty bad or even possibly kill you. He did say he fried his light. I figured he would have destroyed his wiring or possibly caught a fire.
Curious if any electrical professional on here could explain in layman’s terms lol.
Again I know super random. And no my idiot friend is not me, I am not that dumb. I like my wiring and my heart still pumping. I am too scared to experiment with electricity. Also trying to convince my buddy he is not mature enough for a taser haha
