Next that pesky Hertz thing on stuff and what it is.
No it isn't a rental car.
It is a frequency.
What is a frequency in AC applications.
It is the amount of times the positive and negative swap direction in a second.
Frequency can be related to frequent.
As in how many times you frequent the store back and forth.
If you go to the store 7 times a week you have a frequency of 7 hertz.
Heinrich Hertz is who the term is named after.
Its symbol is Hz.
So if you see a symbol of 60 Hz this means it runs on a frequency of AC voltage that swaps polarity 60 times a second.
This is in the US.
Most other countries have one of 50Hz.
This is why we call it alternating current.
It alternates positive to negative on the same wire.
This alternation is what really messes up our bodies nervous system big time when we get shocked.
We run on electricity in one really wild way from our brain to all of our muscles.
And from nerve endings to our brain.
These are called receptors.
Opiates shut down these receptors.
Basic grade school stuff but I thought I would toss it out there anyway.
Here is why I am telling you this.
Sometimes on very rare occasions when people get shocked they don't have any effect till hours later.
Sometimes their heart muscles will start to not function properly and they die hours later from that shock.
Sometimes it cant be fixed no mater what.
In effect their circuits are fried and there isn't any fixing it.
