You are not harmed by contact with a charged metal ball, even though its voltage may be very high. Is the reason for this similar to the reason you are not harmed by the sparks from a Fourth-of-July sparkler, even though the temperature of each of those sparks is higher than 1000°C? Discuss and defend your answer in terms of the energies that are involved.
