You're the one who claimed the water wasn't grounded. I've pointed out

And if the water is "in contact with the ground at some

through any individual standing in that water??? How?
It's called the path of least resistance. You really don't understand basic
electric theory do you?
And you don't seem to have *any* idea where the least
resistance is. It is rather obvious that you have never
done any of the basic exercises for the study of this
type of problem.
A bit hilarious when you claim someone else doesn't
understand electric theory.
In other words you have no answer. That's about what I expected.
I just gave you the answer. You don't understand it.
Each of your mistatements is funnier though!
Here's an idea for you. Set up a grid of dots on paper,Son, you don't even have the first clue about what I think. Why on Earth
1/4 inch apart. Make it a 10 columns with 11 rows grid.
Now assume that between each point there is a resistance
of 1 Ohm. Apply 1 volt between columns 5 and 6 of the
6th row. Calculate the current flow between each and
every point on the 1st column, the last column, the top
row and the bottom row.
You'll start to get an idea why your "electrified pool"
isn't actually as dangerous as you think.
would you make such claims?
If what you've been saying is not what you think, then
why are you repeatedly saying it? We do have clue here
about what you think, because you keep telling us what
it is. How could anyone miss?
The difficulty is getting you to understand the topic.
Things like bringing up "path of least resistance", and
then claiming that a path with many megohms of
resistance is significant. It's not hard to see what
you think, and to realize that you just do not
understand the example before you.
Didn't you ever see power company linemen working on
hot wires in the rain? Think about it!
As for your example, it's obvious that you have no clue about power
systems. One volt? Ha! only an imbicile like you would use a low voltage
system to prove a point about household electricity safety.
It's a standard exercise for Electrical Engineering
studies. Only an ignorant person would not realize that
doing it at 1 volt makes the problem easier to
calculate, and that interpolating it to "household
electricity" simply requires multiplying by 120, 240, or
whatever value you want it to be.
It won't make any difference, because the point is that
when you determine where that "path of least resistance"
is, one of the things you find is that it is *not* out
there on the periphery.
When you have something useful to post, please do so. Otherwise, go back to
your high school studies and try to learn something. Okay?
I probably did understand more about that when I was in
HS than you do now. But I'm a retired old fart, with a
lot of very gray whiskers.
