The conduction path in CEW operation is between which elements?

The conduction path in CEW operation is between which elements?

• A. Electrodes or probes
• B. Wires only
• C. The device case and battery
• D. The subject's clothing

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that the electrical pulse travels from one electrode to the other, using the subject’s body as the conductive bridge. The two electrodes or probes are the endpoints of that path, so the current exits through one electrode, traverses skin and tissues, and returns through the second electrode. The device’s case, battery, and internal wiring supply and route the current, but they aren’t the conduction path itself. Clothing can affect impedance, but it doesn’t define the path the current takes between the two electrodes.
