electrical shock

A few hours ago, after my friend opened a disposable camera and was
playing with the capacitor, I picked up the circuit board and almost
immediately felt a shock. I dropped the thing as soon as I felt the
shock, but now I'm worried about what it could have done. I looked at
the capacitor and it was rated at 330v 120uF. I realize that because
I picked it up with both hands, this went straight through my heart,
but is there anything that I need to worry about?

If you are still breathing, then there is nothing to worry about
unless you include George Bush
 
If there was a flash bulb in the camera the capacitor was probably part of
the charging circuit.

but is there anything that I need to worry about?

No. But you can take this intelegence test to see if your brain has been
affected...

Yes, you should worry. You made it thru okay this time, but what
about the next time?

Nothing to worry about if your heart is okay. Now if it were 50/60 Hz. A.C.,
you might be getting defibrillated about now.

Dumbass. Fibrillation can occur with DC just as easily as with AC.

Don't fucking delude yourself or ANY of these fine readers with your
stupid fucking interpretation of some shit you read one day.

Particularly when the result could be death.

Not many capacitors "store" 50/60 Hz A.C. btw :)

No, "it" is spelled "it".

But perhaps you were referring to the conventional spelling of "weird",
in which case you should have written something like: ""wierd is
conventionally spelled "weird"".

It's the nuances which give the language its flavor, dont'cha know?

Loath as I am to reply to a vile mouthed and ill informed scumbag such as
yourself, there is nothing to suggest, either in the literature or in
practical experience at a major metropolitan hospital in the bio-electronics
dept., that D.C. can cause defibrillation. If one has a weak heart, any
sudden surprise can cause a serious problem. Most people who get hurt by a
D.C. shock do so by smashing into something from the sudden surprise. A.C.,
on the other hand, can send the heart into defibrillation with as little as
10 ua. current. Modern medical equipment allows a maximum of 10ua. leakage
into a patient lead.
 
that D.C. can cause defibrillation.

OOPS! Should read fibrillation.

And incidentally, modern defibrillators use a big assed monopolar Lown
Waveform to STOP the heart from fibrillating.

Dave -

You must not be up on the latest capacitor technology.
Don't know about "must", but that's true - I don't pretend otherwise.

It was just
announced by the I.E.E.E.
What - this morning!

that there is a new axial lead electrolytic that
spins around an axis with a rotational velocity equal to the ac frequency.
From its point of view, it is storing dc :)

As oppposed to a.c. - which is where we came in. You could hook up an electric
drill to one of those air-space caps (as popular in old radios) and beat their
patent :)

btw a pity some abusive lang is creeping about over this. Surely we can all
disagree without that.

Yes, you're now dead, proceed to the exit on your right with the glowing
