In thisconnection, a large current of about 10 A is often less dangerous than a 1-A current. When the smaller current passes through the heart,it may tetanize only part of the heart, thereby causing a desynchronization of the heart action; this condition is called fibrillation. Themovements of the heart become erratic and ineffective in pumping blood. Usually fibrillation does not stop when the current source isremoved. A large current tetanizes the whole heart, and when…arrow_forwardWhen a slotted metal plate enters the field, an emf is induced by the change in flux, but it is less effective. Why?arrow_forward
