Ausrichie:
It's possible for phones to start shocking while charging but killing you through wearing earpiece on top abah why did the insides of the phone not melt, why is it still working? Please electronic engineers explain?

jidxin:


i suspect homicide. the fucking charge on a phone cannot electrocute, the capacity of the cord cannot transmit electricity high enough to electrocute, the cnarger has been stepped down, alot of factors which completely write off any possibility of electrocution from phone

Trendy247:
Thats how this charger wanted to kill me with shock until I changed it..

I was always receiving shocks almost on a daily basis

toyobillz:


Lol...my own samsung charger sef wan finiish me with shock....light tho

wait I hope u guys are not joking oh. I use a Samsung and a type c charger.

5 volts can't practically harm a human severely talk more of electrocution. Don't be ignorant, Google is at your disposal.

Darkseid:
100% not possible. The phone is even still ON, meaning that over 100V passed through the charger, didn't destroy the capacitor, regulators etc and then moved over the tiny cable to the phone, and somehow the phone survived but the guy didn't; make they go look for wetin kill the guy jor

k2money:
I smell lies, the current of charging phones cannot kill a kid not to talk of that grown up guy

1x2x3:
Current from a phone charger is practically not enough to electrocute anyone.... I sense a desperate blogger.

GeniusWannabe:
I stopped using earphones while my phone is connected to a working charger when a friend told me a high voltage electric current overcharged his phone, causing an explosion. We take many things for granted, even though we're aware of the consequences.
That dude probably knew that he was taking a risk, but he couldn't resist because his desires got the best of him. What a way to die!

Short circuiting can make it happen. There can be a sudden bypass of current and the full force of the voltage from the mains will be unleashed on you.
I remember I was using my laptop plugged to the mains and we were using gen cos there was no power. It was raining that fateful night and I had my earphones plugged to my laptop on my ear. Suddenly there was a lightening strike and immediately I felt a jolt running through both of my ears I had to quickly remove the earphones. Only God saved me that night though I thought with a big gen I was not supposed to experience such but I did.
Never say never.

Synthase:


I had this experience recently, one part of my ear piece got removed mistakenly exposing the wire with soldier however, I noticed that I always feel this sensation of mild shock whenever I am using the good part and the exposed wire of the bad part touches my body when the phone is plugged to the charger. I didn't take it serious until the shock I felt was so intense one time, that I brought out my tester to be sure my mind was not playing some tricks on me, lo and behold! It shows significant current was flowing through! This I observe when we have what we call "full current" in this part of the world. So, i think it is quite possible to be electrocuted this way.

Timileyin1234:

Are u kidney me? 4jolts can electrocute human let alone charger.
Modified: for those of u claiming google say current from charger can not kill an average human. Continue, maybe google go give u another life we go see

GeniusWannabe:
Pretty scary stuff huh? By the way, your nickname, you must be a biochemist lol.

All this people above me sef

...... 5volts can kill, 5volts cannot kill

But the guy is dead na

I don't need Google to prove this is possible...I once used an earpiece which gives me electric shock anytime I connect it while charging..I mean a painful shock.. I later discovered there was a metal coating inside the set ,of which the previous onés ev used was covered with plastic..I really love the earpiece because of the bass it produces, but I love my life more...dem don steal am sef

BeauHomme:
4volts can kill, 4volts cannot kill...yap, yap, yap. Yet, there have been numerous deaths like this.

Just take precaution & don't use phones while they are charging. Devices often times give no warnings before they malfunction. Power surges never seek permission before they happen.

Use your head & stay alive. Don't allow Nairaland Isaac Newtons lead you to early grave.

brother lienus

but during spiked and thunderstorms a phone charger can pass more than 10,000 volts which can kill anybody using the phone at the moment if the phone is plugged to mains
