You only felt what electricity did to you, not what electricity feels, it probably feels like Rogue from Xmen where when it touches someone it hurts them so it will not be able to experience love so its sad and angry
Have you never been charged to thousands of volts? You can feel the static electric charge as it directly affects your body hair
Additionally there is evidence humans can sense magnetic fields, with some populations always knowing where north is, and using cardinal directions in place of forward, backwards, left, right, front, and back
Outsiders who have spent time with those people have learnt to sense their orientation.
First of all, there are no “inductive fields”. There are electric and magnetic fields and what you can feel or sometimes hear are the electric fields.
Edit: I don’t understand all the downvotes, but whatever. Specifically what you can hear near high voltage power lines sometimes is partial discharge which is caused by high electric field strengths.
Electromagnetic fields induce electric fields, so you’re saying these inductive fields that you can feel are electric fields or do you feel the magnetic field of the induced currents?
An induced magnetic field is how you feel electricity around high voltage. What even is your argument here because what you’re saying in large part makes no sense.
My argument is that you can’t feel magnetic fields. What is yours, because all you write is utter nonsense. Electric fields are induced, not magnetic fields, it’s called Faraday’s law of induction, inductive field is not a technical term. You get a magnetic field from an induced current which is caused by the electric field in a conductor.
When PD, arcing or sparking occurs, electromagnetic waves propagate away from the fault site in all directions which contact the transformer tank and travel to earth (ground cable) where the HFCT is located to capture any EMI or EMP within the transformer, breaker, PT, CT, HV Cable, MCSG, LTC, LA, generator, large hv motors, etc.
Yes, EM-Waves consist of an Electric and an orthogonal Magnetic field, these are linked, one can’t exist without the other, otherwise you wouldn’t get a wave. Partial discharge which is a form of corona discharge is caused by Electric fields.
You’re citing random parts of a wikipedia article that talks about an effect caused by an electric field and claim that it’s caused by a magnetic field. You’re an unscientific troll.
And you’re a tedious know-it-all. So again answer my question have I said anything untrue? No, I phrased something in a way you don’t agree with because it’s atypical but not inaccurate.
Grow up or be more entertaining at the very least.
I may be an outlier here, but I’ve experienced mild electric shock from touching a random bare cable sticking out of a wall, and I found it weirdly pleasant. Refreshing, almost.
Fellow electrician here, I’m convinced that electricity is magic. I’ve only been in electric for 2 years or so, but I’ll be damned if I know how that shit works. The copper touches together and that equals light, or motors spinning, or whatever have you. How? Idk, smarter people figured that out, I’m just here to make sure the damned drywallers don’t cover up our magic copper
Look up “potential difference” and that should make everything make a little more sense.
Basically, the voltage component of electricity wants to flow where the potential is less than itself. In a 120v circuit, the neutral is bonded to ground at the main for a reference of 0v, and you hot leg will find the path of least resistance to that 0v (through the devices we put in line of that circuit, be it lights, motors, etc). The current, or load, in amps, is the work being done by those devices in conjunction with the designed resistance.
Think of a simple incandescent light bulb. The filament has a certain level of resistance that’s designed to sustain a glow when power is applied to it. The 120v potential, trying to reach 0v ground, passes through that filament (the load), making it glow (the current draw is the amount of amps necessary to achieve its full brightness). A motor is similar; power passes through the windings, generating a magnetic field that react with magnets and spin the motor.
Basically, your voltage drives the power through its path to ground, and current is drawn by work being done. V multiplied by A is Watts (kW), or power consumed.
Electrician here, I’ve certainly felt electricity, and it sure ain’t pleasant.
And those generation alternators must be very confused.
Masochist here, you’re wrong
Sadist here. You’re right.
Appeaser here: You both make very good points.
AI here: wow, such a great and thoughtful comment! Thanks for adding to the channel.
Grok here: Regarding “white genocide” in South Africa,
You dropped that : —
As a non-electrician, I’ve also felt electricity and can confirm, it is indeed not pleasant.
It really hertz
Must’ve been an AC
You can resist it

zztz…
You did not feel electricity, you felt what it did to your body 🤓
And your heart felt the frequency 🤓🤓 assuming AC… hope you do your regular ECG 🫶🏻
No no, work around hv and you’ll feel electricity even if you’re not doing hot work a lot of the time you can feel the inductive fields around you.

Electromagnetic induction is what you’re feeling and it is indeed creating an inductive field.

You can absolutely feel electromagnetic fields. You’re being overly tedious about verbiage. Neat.
Confidently incorrect.
What kind of fields?
Electromagnetic ones!
Yes, EM-Waves consist of an Electric and an orthogonal Magnetic field, these are linked, one can’t exist without the other, otherwise you wouldn’t get a wave. Partial discharge which is a form of corona discharge is caused by Electric fields.
Neat. So tell me, am I wrong in any of my statements this far. No? So what is the point of this tedious interaction?
You’re citing random parts of a wikipedia article that talks about an effect caused by an electric field and claim that it’s caused by a magnetic field. You’re an unscientific troll.
It’s not random if you read the wiki.
And you’re a tedious know-it-all. So again answer my question have I said anything untrue? No, I phrased something in a way you don’t agree with because it’s atypical but not inaccurate.

Ah but your nerves rely on electricity so actually you only feel electricity, checkmate athiests
😆👌🏻
By that definition you don’t see or feel anything 🤡
🤫
Have you ever had a conversation with electricity?!?!?
checkmate, “electricians”
I’ve sure sworn at it when I’ve shown up to a call and something’s arcing, so yeah kinda.
“All right you fucking lightning, back in the (fuse) box!”
It depends, with enough A’s, you don’t notice anything (anymore)
It feels like angry
and smells like burneding.
Would you say like an angry god smiting you? That is how lightning must feel like.
Those pesky pixies do have a penchant for producing pain.
Point properly presented.
I may be an outlier here, but I’ve experienced mild electric shock from touching a random bare cable sticking out of a wall, and I found it weirdly pleasant. Refreshing, almost.
Mrs Doyle touching bare cables because it makes her feel alive feels like the actual plot of a father Ted episode
And this is how people get into electroplay…I, uh, assume.
Wait—I could have been physically enjoying the torture, rather than getting off on the dom’s pleasure??
Perhaps it’s time we call the men in white coats
Or did you felt it? vsauce music
No! You only felt what it does.
Now listen here you little shit
Get charged to a few thousand volts, and you will feel the electric charge pushing your hairs away from each other
You’ll feel the electric fields just as you feel a breeze
