I live in a hostel. Today I was alone in the hostel. The drinking water tank got emptied and I had no water to drink. So I decided to switch on the motor. The switch board of the motor was not good. It was torn at some places. When I switched on the motor, I got an electric shock and a jerk. But there is no burning of the hand. Will anything happen to my brain? Because I have read that electric shock damage the brain. Will my brain get damaged?
