ground - ANSWER a physical electrical connection to earth
energized (live, "hot") - ANSWER terms similar in meaning that a voltage is present
which may cause a current, so there is a possibility of getting shocked
conductor - ANSWER material in which an electrical current moves with ease
neutral - ANSWER at ground potential (0 volts) because of a connection to ground
if you touch a live wire and are grounded at the same time. - ANSWER You will receive a
shock

shock hazard is present.
ampere (amp) - ANSWER the unit used to measure current

go." However, strong involuntary movements can cause injuries.
6-25 milliamps - ANSWER (women)†Painful shock. Muscular control is lost. This is the
range where "freezing 9-30 milliamps (men) currents" start. It may not be possible to
"let go."
50-150 milliamps - ANSWER Very painful shock, breathing stops, severe muscle
contraction. Flexor muscles may hold in a grip; extensor muscles may cause intense
push away. Death possible.
