    Measuring Elctric
    If you drop a spanner and it fell on a connection to a battery why would you burn your hand when you went to lift it

    Because the spanner (wrench in the USA) got hot from the heat generated by the resistance and the current flow that went through it.

    Same principle electric heaters use.
