Chapter 23, Problem 18CQ
Why are ordinary circuit breakers and fuses ineffective in preventing shocks?

Students have asked these similar questions
When working with high-power electric circuits, it is advised that whenever possible, you work “one-handed” or “keep one hand in your pocket.” Why is this a sensible suggestion?
In view of the small currents that cause shock hazards and the larger currents that circuit breakers and fuses interrupt, how do they play a role in preventing shock hazards?
If you work out enough to visibly increase the diameter of your biceps, will this increase or decrease your susceptibility to electric shock? Explain.
