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