CEW disrupts the body's communication system by generating a what type of electrical charge?

• A. High voltage, low current electrical charge
• B. Low voltage, high current electrical charge
• C. High voltage, high current electrical charge
• D. No current electrical pulses

Answer: (A)

CEWs are designed to disrupt the body's nerve signaling by injecting a brief burst of electrical energy that interferes with how nerves and muscles communicate. To reach the nerves through skin and tissue, the device uses a high voltage. At the same time, it keeps the current low, which helps limit potential harm and makes the effects temporary and predominantly neuromuscular rather than lethal. In short, the energy delivered is high voltage with low current, enough to affect nerves and muscles but not to cause lasting damage.
