Would a big person have more chance of dying to a short circuit compared to a skinny person?
Theoretically speaking: a short circuit happens when current takes lowest path of resistance on something that is not the intended wire.
Let’s say, a big, short person touched a live wire. Due to resistance being inverse proportional to length and proportional to cross sectional area.
Would that makes bigger, shorter person more vulnerable to short circuits? Compared to a person with a more relatively thin and tall physique.
I got detention for asking this but I’m genuine
