The question above has multiple answers you can choose from


A. Most common shock-related injury resulting in electrical, arc flash, or thermal contact injuries

B. Occurs when a person is exposed to a lethal amount of electrical energy

C. A reflex response to the passage of electric current through the human body and results when electric current enters the body at one point and leaves through another

D. Occurs when electricity ignites an explosive mixture of materials in the air.


The one answer that is synonymous with this definition is option (B). The meaning of electrocution is to kill or severely injure by electrical shock. Basically, this word means death or something very lethal since it is derived from “electro” and “execution”. Electrocution can also be used for accidental deaths or describe non-fatal injuries due to electricity.




Answer: Electrocution is a combination of the electric and execution which causes human death when it goes through the one end to the other end of the human body.  

Explanation: The Electrocution is a death cause which is figured out by the human. Human is responsible for the death himself which is called as an Electrocution.  

When electric goes through the human body, it results in a death or fatal brain damage. It does not depends on the volt of the electricity but depends on the amount of electricity and the time duration the body takes the electric current. The wet and damage body can observe more amount of electricity and it damages the human body.

When a person is in contact with the electricity, it first damages the heart and stops the heartbeat due to which a person dies. It depends upon the time in which a person is under the electric current and as a result either a person will die or his\her mind will be damaged badly.

It is a man-made cause of death. At the earlier time when electricity was generated, it was used to give death punishment to the victims by making them sit on the electric chair due to which they died.

The electric chair was used in place of the hanging which was a death punishment for the victims at the earlier time.

In the dry medium, the electricity does not find so fast way to run in comparison with the wet or damaged medium.

As we know electric is very important for us at the present time but it is one of the biggest causes of death so everyone needs to be aware while using it. Everyone should know the pros and cons of using electricity otherwise it will become the cause of death which is known as Electrocution.
