What is electrical Shock? - Answer: A sensation and muscular spasm when electric current passes
through the body.
What is a GFCI? - Answer: Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (automatically shut's off electrical flow in the
event of an overload)
TS Transformers - Answer: Open: T doesn't generate output V
Short: could be partial which would then change number of coils so Ep would change or Es
