A rock band is playing a concert on an electrically conducting platform (ex: steel) that is electric

insulated (ex: dry wood) from the rest of the concert hall. During the concert, the platform is accidentally connected to a high-voltage AC source. The band members' hair stands on end. At te end of the concert, the band members descend from the platform. Should they jump bdown from or step off the platform?

They should have the power cut first.



Depends on the amps. If large enough, they may produce an arc while walking down the stairs.
