The damaging effects of electric shock result from the amount of current that flows in the body. Why, then, do we see signs that, read "Danger - High Voltage. rather than "Danger-High Current"?
State one measure to avoid overloading in an electrical circuit. Also, mention the name given to a situation in which the live and the neutral wires accidentally come in contact. Describe the role of a safety device in this situation.
