One hundred amperes is equivalent to the electrical service provided to many households 🏠. Currents ⚡ this size can cause internal damage in the components, leading to large scale power 🔌 outages. In addition to electrical failures, #communications 📱 would be disrupted on a worldwide scale. #Internet 📶 service providers could go down. One other area of disruption that would potentially affect everyday life is #navigation 🧭 systems astronomy.com/science/a-large-
