I mean, I can just tell you
If you put a conductor between the prongs, it’ll complete the circuit. Better than air does, by a lot. Circuit complete. Simple as that
Where does the heat go? That’s the question you should be asking. Thermodynamics aren’t a suggestion
Do you understand what I mean? You should definitely ask follow up questions if you’re still unsure about how your little experiment would go

I take that to mean I’d want to have a heat-insulating layer between the conductive material and my skin in that case to avoid burns. Used to play with disposable camera flash (light, not memory) circuit boards and I broke a few by connecting things that ought not be connected so I’ve been basing my expectations off of that. Zapped some friends, some friends zapped me, good times were had by all. It’s the sort of thing that probably won’t really click until I’ve tried it out but I appreciate you giving me some stuff to think about in the meantime.
