Can I Get A Shock From A Battery Why Does A 9 Volt Battery Shock Your Tongue, But Not Your Skin?

Why does a 9 volt battery shock your tongue, but not your skin? - can i get a shock from a battery

This question is one of my children are raised. So I have no good answer. I guess the skin is a poor conductor of electricity.

The skin provides an adequate strength for a 9-volt battery, an action to stop flow to be current.

The language is different because it is wet with saliva (which contains salt), and acts as the electrolyte (the electric current run) and makes it much easier for electrons to a level from the terminal to + ve ve terminal of the battery.

His tongue is moist and has a thick layer of dry, dead cells that surround them. It has much less resistance.

Within a group of people is a good electrical conductor
especially the humidity is language are not well protected, additional protection to the mouth, and yes, the layers of the skin of our body are a good resistance of a small river.
