==Key Stage 3==
[[File:ElectrocutionSymbol.png|right|300px|thumb|The [[hazard]] symbol for the '''danger of electrocution'''.]]
===Meaning===
A '''danger of electrocution''' is when there is [[electricity]] at such a large [[Potential Difference|potential difference]] that it could pass through a living [[organism]].
===About Danger of Electrocution===
: A '''danger of electrocution''' is caused by one [[object]] being at a different [[voltage]] to another [[object]] leading to a [[Potential Difference|potential difference]] between the two [[object]]s. If that [[Potential Difference|potential difference]] is large enough it will cause an [[Electrical Current|electrical current]] to pass through the body.
: [[Electrocution]] may cause burns down the path the [[electricity]] flows or it may stop the [[heart]] from beating because the [[heart]] relies on [[Impulse (Biology)|electrical signals]] to beat.
