D)all of the above
E)none of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The differences in outcomes when touching a faulty 120-V light fixture and a high-voltage Van de Graaff generator involve the sustainability of charge flow (how long the charge can continue to flow), the duration of charge flow (how long the charge actually flows during contact), and the amount of energy transferred (which affects the severity of the shock). All these factors contribute to the different experiences and potential dangers associated with each scenario.
