Boy Nearly Electrocuted by iPhone Charger

Updated: Friday, November 15 2013, 07:09 AM EST POWELL (Ben Garbarek) -- A 12 year-old boy is nearly electrocuted after unplugging the charger to his iPhone. The boy has serious burns on his chest and neck. His mom said his necklace of St. Patrick touched the charger right as he pulled it out of the wall. "I was talking to him one second," she said. "(Then I'm) hearing him scream the next and (I) would never have thought that his necklace would hit at that moment.

a likely story.....iPhone charger, fix em weekly....5 volts, 1000ụ amps (1.4 amp), couldn't tickle a limp pecker..

.....lets get to the actual problem here Big Power Corp

....faulty GFI's in the house and/or defective secondary's outside the house

iPhone charger has no "step-up" circuitry ( (I) it increases current ụ ..the killer part), it takes 110AC house, rectifies it to a chopped DC via diode array, then "Steps-Down" the voltage (E) thru transformer, then regulated to a steady 5 volts via 5v reg circuit (excess over 5.1v gets sent to ground, any under gets charge from cap) E = I x R  (E is voltage, I is current, R is resistence) Ʊ Ohms law, the most basic equation for electronics. Nothing this low voltage can produce burns, more less "shock" some one, xcept the 110 ac, which again is a product of the Big Power Corp, and their liability.
