Would you actually notice anything? Like a bird sitting on a high-voltage power line, as long as it only touches one line it's ok.
It would get quite hot, but no you probably won't get shocked.
I wonder, really. I've short circuited 9volts batteries before and from memory not much happened. I think a typical average 9v battery can give about .5 amps, so you'd get 4.5 watts, which won't heat up the metal piece very much.
Since it's a closed circuit, I also don't think you'd feel much in the sense of electric shocks.
I'm guessing the person sleeping wouldn't even notice it
It would probably start getting uncomfortably warm pretty quickly, but I doubt you'd feel the current.
I'd bet you'd feel as much current as licking a 9volt. The nose is a mucus membrane, so not very resistant to electricity
Yes but the nose ring is metal. So you’d short the battery using it, allowing as much current as a 9v could muster across the ring. Depending on how thick the ring, it would heat up, and potentially cause burning. But no electric shock.
Though I wonder how much punch those things have. It's 9v but I wouldn't be surprised if that voltage drops quite a bit if offered little resistance.
If I had a nose ring like that one, I’d give it a shot, out of my nose of course, but alas, I don’t yet
