Have you done the experiment?

Sadly no. This experiment requires exponentialy more time, energy,
money, patience than even all the scientists in the world have, put
together!

What symptoms would I experience if an AC electric current of 1,000
amps, 50-60 Hz was applied directly to the adipose tissue of my abdomen
via insertion of an extremely sharp electric needle that is only one
iron-atom wide at the end, and which -- for some unknown reason -- also
has a resistance of only 10^-500 ohm? Thermal injuries are out of the
question because of the extremely low resistance.

Are you the same loon that posts to the sci.electronics hierarchy
periodically, complaining that your neighbors are attacking you with
lasers and various types of "death rays?"
My guess is that the pressure of the electric current would rupture the
adipose tissue covering my stomach. Am I right?

Give it a try and see.

*PLONK!*

So you read (or just as likely misread) the following somewhere and you
thought it was interesting but instead of just posting it on Usenet for
interest's sake you go through this whole song and dance. Take a guess why
I am replying to jimp's post and not yours.

You could start small and test the concept. Try braided copper wire
(AWG #14 to #10), and about 10 amps at 120 VAC. Don't forget to weigh
yourself before and after to see if any adipose tissue evaporates.

One more time, Google "exploding wires".

The wire will explode due to energy density, not resistive heating.

the energy content of a current flowing through a perfect conductor is zero.
or are you meaning some sort of magnetic effect?

It'll never happen. He'll run out of fingers and toes to count on,
and I doubt he understands binary.

Its the magnetism that would cause the wire to explode. In my
hypothetical case, magnetism plays no role in the electricity.

Then your hypothetical case has no connection whatsoever with any kind of
plausible reality.

Thanks,

You're a fucking idiot. (DUH)

How's the shock going to occur?

You've gone to all this trouble to dream up an impossible scenario
which doesn't even provide for the current's return, and then you
want to waste everyone's time pretending that you know what you're
talking about?

You don't, and since there are no stupid questions on seb, I suggest
that the proper place for you to present your asinine hypotheses is
alt.idiots.

No one but you has mentioned a perfect conductor

sorry, my mistake, it was 10^-500ohms. (and 1000A)

10^-494 Watts isn't a great deal of energy.
and you are confusing current flow with energy dissipation.

no, I'm saying what is "energy density" and how does it apply to this scenario.

Bye.

It isn't energy at all, it is power.

Energy density is how a laser with an average power of a few watts cuts
through steel and what makes wires explode.

It is the energy per unit volume or area in a material.

Google "exploding wires".
