If you step in this puddle, electrocution will befall you.

I have a math and/or physics question for you Flood that i am curious about. We all know that if a current is put into a source of water, electricity will course through it and if you touch that water, the current will jump, and flow through you. More often than not this can kill, but in this situation lets say no person or thing will be harmed. If we were going to completely seperate an ocean, for this scenario lets say the Atlantic, how much electricity in volts would be needed to light up the entire body of water?

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] theHurtfulTurkey You'd need roughly a billion bolts of lightning striking the surface of the water simultaneously to create a noticeable charge across the surface of an ocean...to feel it all the way to the lowest depths would be in the quadrillions I'm assuming. [/quote] That was a pretty awesome image in my mind, thanks for the reply.
