You would effectively put two batteries in series, doubling the voltage, then short them out. This would create quite a bit of heat and probably wear out the batteries quickly, but I don't think there would be catastrophic failure.

>>60979654

>>60980135
A short circuit will only occur if you directly connect positive voltage to ground.

If you were to somehow plug in that usb device to something that output, say, 12 volts, you would probably make it pop, but it wouldn't be a short. When it comes to frying electronics, adapter output amperage doesn't matter (mostly), output voltage does.

>>60980355
That would be an immediate 120 volt short circuit. You would hear and see a violent pop and spark, then your circuit breaker would trip and the entire room would go dark.
If you happen to be grounded, that current will probably go through you, giving you a potentially fatal electric shock.

>>60980135
A device won't pull more current than the circuit is designed to.
That is, unless there is a fault which causes a short circuit internally, but this is typically only when damaged.

For example, a resistive circuit that pulls 2A from a supply which can handle 2A will also pull 2A from a supply which can handle 1000A, so long as voltages are identical.

In simple resistive circuits this can be calculated from ohms law. I=V/R
Current will only increase if voltage also increases.
This is a physical principal which cannot be broken.

The only real exception is a circuit which *is* at fault or designed to draw more current than a usual supply provides, but that in theory should have current draw issues when plugged into a computer, etc anyway.

>>60980215
This basically.

>>60980355
The bulk of the current would flow between the metal prongs, although a small amount would travel through your body to earth.
In an ideal situation, you would blow a fuse/trip a switch before it was dangerous, but if you had particularly good conductivity or if the houses wiring was inadequate (as it so often is in the US ;^) ) it could easily kill you.

>>60980421
>>60980428
If I'm grounded, the electricity goes through me to the ground and I could die?
So if I do it while say, jumping, or suspended from the ceiling, id be safe, but the room would still blackout right?
Does

>>60980464
I mean, if you want to get technical...

If you were not grounded, a 120 volt short would probably burn the fucking bajeezus out of your hand and like >>60980428 said, the tweezers would carry the bulk of the current - effectively turning the tweezers into a low resistance resistor and getting very, very hot.

If you are grounded, or the circuit completes itself across your heart or other vital nervous areas, you will probably go into cardiac arrest and die.

Electricity is looking for the path of least resistance to ground. If the tongs are the path of least resistance, that's where it will go. If you are the path of least resistance, the electricity will go through you!

Btw, Idk if you're being retarded or not, but this is actually an interesting subject.

>>60980535
I'm a little retarded, not pretending.
So will the electricity travel to my feet if I'm not planted on the ground? Or will it remain stagnant in my hands and tweezers?

>>60980421
Can confirm. I once tapped the two wires together from where a light switch was and almost killed myself

It's 2kV DC with max current only limited by internal resistance of the batteries, so 'd say it can kill several people at once.

Obviously he's an idiot. While 2kV is not enough to blast through a centimeter of air, some sweat can easily change that, plus the rubber insulation on standard test leads is typically rated only up to 1kV.

BY THE WAY, A PSA:
Some really bad /csg/ power supplies and other gadgets with USB ports do not fully separate the AC and DC circuits inside, so if you grab the metal part of the USB stick plugged into one of them (or just charge a phone with a metal shell) and happen to be grounded at the time, you can get a mains voltage shock (and die).

Your anecdote about being shocked several times (why) shouldn't be a measure of "toughness." 120 volts, 240 volts, it doesn't matter. If your body completes the circuit just right and enough current flows across your heart, there is good chance of severe injury/death.

In 99% of cases people get zapped by touching both live and neutral/ground with one hand, which is nasty but can't kill you. But this isn't a reason to be careless.

Btw, an inflatable pool provides ridiculously good insulation, even with water inside.

im not sure im imagining the plug you imagined, usually the electricity is milimeters from your skin but 120v cant even jump 2mm of wire insulation, you 5mm of plastic is ok

You recharge the battery with less charge in it until the charges of both batteries equalize. You can never fully recharge it, but you can replace one battery with a fully-charged one to start the process again, further recharging the desired battery.

>there is good chance of severe injury/death.

There's a really low chance of serious injury or death. I completed the circuit from hot to neutral from my right hand to left hand. Definitely got some current in my heart because I had heart palpatations, irregular heartbeat, and felt like I was going to pass out. I laid down and 15 minutes later I was good. I work with a guy who works on these things live without even trying to not get shocked. He probably gets zapped hundreds of times a year. It's like playing russian roulette with a revolver that has a million round cylinder. Sure don't do it for the fun of it, but it's not that big of a deal.

>Not an old wive's tale.
You're right it's complete bullshit. An ohm meter doesn't even apply it's full battery voltage to the probes. The only way you're going to stop a heart with a 9V battery is to apply the voltage directly to the heart. Literally put electrodes on the heart and apply 9V. You could jab a probe in each bicep and not feel the current. Measure the resistance of your tongue and then put a 9V on your tongue. Tell me they're the same.

the circuit will be completed and the resistance of the metal will cause it to gradually heat up as electricity flows through it.

I've never left them connected long enough to see what the end result is. I suspect they get too hot to pick up for a while and then the batteries die.

>>60979499
one of the inner battery connections is going to be heat up so much that it will break the circuit rendering battery unusable.
