I. Read the passage and answer the questions! (Score: 30%)

Electrical injury is a physiological reaction caused by electric current passing through
the body. The injury depends on the density of the current, tissue resistance and duration of
contact. Very small currents may be imperceptible or produce a light tingling sensation. A
shock caused by low and otherwise harmless current could startle an individual and cause
injury due to jerking away or falling. Stronger currents may cause some degree of discomfort
or pain, while more intense currents may induce involuntary muscle contractions, preventing
the person from breaking free of the source of electricity. Still larger currents result in tissue
damage and may trigger ventricular fibrillation or cardiac arrest. Injuries from exposure to
electricity may also include amputations, fractures and orthopedic and musculoskeletal
injuries. If death results from an electric shock the cause of death is generally referred to as
electrocution.
Electric injury occurs upon contact of a body part with electricity that causes a
sufficient current to pass through the person's tissue. Contact with energized wiring or
devices is the most common cause. In cases of exposure to high voltages, such as on a power
transmission tower, direct contact may not be necessary as the voltage may "jump" the air
gap to the electrical device.
Following an electrical injury from household current, if a person has no symptoms,
no underlying heart problems, and is not pregnant further testing is not required. Otherwise,
an electrocardiogram, blood work to check the heart, and urine testing for signs of muscle
breakdown may be performed.
Management may involve resuscitation, pain medications, wound management, and
heart monitoring. Resuscitation is the process of correcting physiological disorders (such as
lack of breathing or heartbeat) in an acutely ill patient. It is an important part of intensive care
medicine, trauma surgery and emergency medicine. Well known examples are
cardiopulmonary resuscitation and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Electrical injuries affect
more than 30,000 people a year in the United States and result in about 1,000 deaths.

(Score: 40%)
1. What is electricity
2. History of Electricity

Rizky : “Hello Cep, how is your day?”

Cecep : “Hello Rizky, My day was great. What about yours?”
Rizky : “I’m fine too, thanks. what are you busy with today?”
Cecep : “I am now learning about electricity.”
Rizky : “Wow that’s very cool Cep !”
Cecep : “Do you know what electricity is Rizky ?
Rizky : “No I don’t know, Can you explain it to me?”
Cecep : “Of course, Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence

and motion of matter that has a property of electric charge. Electricity is related to
magnetism, both being part of the phenomenon of electromagnetism, as described
by Maxwell’s equations. Various common phenomena are related to electricity,
including lightning, static electricity, electric heating, electric discharges and many

others.”
Rizky : “Great explanation Cep, I loved to heared that. Thanks for that.”
Cecep : “You’re welcome Rizky, by the way i need to go home first because I need to
continue my homework.”
Rizky : “Oke, see you Cep.”
Cecep : “See you Ky.”
