Red energy ad: "you can't see it (electricity), you can't reach out and touch it"
Both untrue. Not sure Red energy know what they're selling.
is that a challenge
A bloody stupid one. Having worked with 3 phase it’s not a dare to be taken
I dare you.
i'll take truth
…. Torture, kiss, or promise.
In fact, if you get close enough, the electricity will actually reach out and touch you lol
Red Energy's ad department are stupid af lol
It’s true that you can’t see electricity, though. Neither electrons in motion (electric current) nor excess charge carriers (static electricity) are visible. Visible sparks are ionised air, not the electricity itself.
Whether you can touch electricity is a bit of a weird question. You can touch an object carrying a static charge, and you can touch a conductor. But are you touching the “electricity”? It’s a weird semantic argument.
