Question

A student stands on a thick piece of insulating material, places her hand on top of a Van de Graaf generator, and then turns on the generator. Does she receive a shock?

Answer 1

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Standing on an insulated material doesn't allow for electrons to pass through from the generator to the pad. In order to feel a shock the person would need to be connected to the ground through the process of induction.
