This week we learned about electric potential energy. I learned that an electrical socket has 120 volts. Though the voltage seems low, it will hurt. There was this ball thing which supposidly had 100,000 volts. When i touched it, it didnt really hurt. It was just a little shock. I didnt attempt to shock myself with the outlet. That would have hurt way to much. I learned that it isnt the voltage that will hurt you, it is the amount of the charge that will hurt you. This is the intense shock that we feel.
