Would you actually notice anything? Like a bird sitting on a high-voltage power line, as long as it only touches one line it's ok.
It would probably start getting uncomfortably warm pretty quickly, but I doubt you'd feel the current.
I'd bet you'd feel as much current as licking a 9volt. The nose is a mucus membrane, so not very resistant to electricity
Yes but the nose ring is metal. So you’d short the battery using it, allowing as much current as a 9v could muster across the ring. Depending on how thick the ring, it would heat up, and potentially cause burning. But no electric shock.
Though I wonder how much punch those things have. It's 9v but I wouldn't be surprised if that voltage drops quite a bit if offered little resistance.
If I had a nose ring like that one, I’d give it a shot, out of my nose of course, but alas, I don’t yet
It would get quite hot, but no you probably won't get shocked.
I wonder, really. I've short circuited 9volts batteries before and from memory not much happened. I think a typical average 9v battery can give about .5 amps, so you'd get 4.5 watts, which won't heat up the metal piece very much.
Since it's a closed circuit, I also don't think you'd feel much in the sense of electric shocks.
I'm guessing the person sleeping wouldn't even notice it
