A low DC voltage is produced by the thermocouple when the two junctions are at different temperatures. This voltage is referred to as the thermoelectric voltage. This thermoelectric voltage is produced by the temperature gradient along the thermocouple wires.
Re: What's causes the electric shock type pain in a tooth Hi DM69. I'm not a dentist but I'm pretty sure its the erosion of your tooth exposing the pulp, I had the exact same feeling in my tooth before I had it extracted a month ago, so I feel your pain.
Electric Shock Overview. An electric shock occurs when a person comes into contact with an electrical energy source. Electrical energy flows through a portion of the body causing a shock. Exposure to electrical energy may result in no injury at all or may result in devastating damage or death.rief low-voltage shocks that do not result in any symptoms or burns of the skin do not require care. For any high-voltage shock, or for any shock resulting in burns, seek care at a hospital's emergency department. A doctor should evaluate electric cord burns to the mouth of a child.
