on the second step of this page,sorry im completely new to working with electricity, will touching the copasitor with a screw driver that has a plastic handle run the risk of shocking me at all? what do you mean by touch?

It would just jump to the other side (it would rather travel through the metal than you) so you don't need insulation.

okay, if you use a plastic handle, you wont get shocked. you may jump when it makes a spark though.

plastic is a resistor = doesn't conduct

I putted some tape around my metal screwdriver. Didnt get shocked but It makes a pretty loud spark xD

don't you mean plastic is an insulator?

Aug 5, 2008. 7:38 AMcowscankill (author) says:

um... No, I thought resisters didn't conduct elctricity, and conducters did.

it is insulators and conductors, what you mean.

thats whay i was sying.

um... you seemed to confuse him by calling them resisters.

resistors conduct you can discharge the cap with one

Mar 16, 2008. 7:40 PMcowscankill (author) says:

well, i mean... uh... i thought it was resistors and conductors... OH, you mean a resistor component/electrical piece?

Mar 16, 2008. 8:16 PMxproplayer says:

yea the resistance is determined by how much plastic and how much metal is in the resisance

dont know what that ment but if the volts or current is high enuf its can get u but now where near volts or current amps watever to get u from this cap

Jun 28, 2008. 2:21 AMekulmeekul says:

i think he is talking about an insulator.

when i touched it it scared the crap out of me
