[Phys-l] Electrocution in Bathtub - Hollywood style

Hi!

I have seen this in at least three Hollywood movies; electrocuting
someone in a bathtub or in a similar situation by throwing a powered-on
electric appliance such a toaster in the water. I don't believe this
would ordinarily electrocute the person in the bathtub; will it?
