Shall we get electrical shock if we touch the positive
terminal of a 230 volt dc supply?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
in DC voltage there are two types of distribution negative
earthed and negative unearthed
in negative earthed system you will get shock and if
neutral is unearthed you will never get shock unless you
touch the negative at the same time
you can easily idetify whether the distribution is earthed
or unearthed by measuring voltage the positive with respect
to earth. if it shows some voltage it is negative earthed
system

Answer / poorna
no we wont get a shock, because there wont be a return path
for the current to flow, a circuit has to be closed for the
current to flow, here path will be +ve terminal ur body and
say earth and it finally has to end at negative terminal as
the potential differce is between those two terminals but
not positive terminal and earth

Answer / hiren morkar
Of course u will get shock as positive terminal got earth
parth through ur body.
If u have enough isolation from earth as well as negative
terminal than u will not ot shock.

Answer / devendra
Obviously it will get shocked bec for flowing electricity it
needed closed path general way its starts from +ve end and
terminated at -ve terminals when human touches +ve terminal
human body acts as -ve terminal so current flows through
human body and terminate at earth.... Flowing of electric
charge inside human body is called shock

Answer / r
You may get shock if positive of 230 v is touched as body
is supposed to have negative or zero potential which may be
treated as ground.

Answer / pradeep
u clearly understand that the dc supply is independent of
time. as we know the ac supply is depends upon the time
variation. if u touch the 230v u surely get high electric
shock as compared to 230v ac...
