Why use a bandaid when you can cauterize instead :science:

Assuming the bandaid tin (AKA the enclosure) is grounded (either by a grounding conductor or an improvised path to ground), and makes contact with the hot allowing leakage current to the ground (ie a ground fault) the GFI will trip and cut power to the system. The lack of a ground path in the bandaid tin / lamp cord arrangement means you will need to toss it in the bathtub with a shaker of salt, and assuming you have continuous copper plumbing and your electrical system is connected properly current will flow and the GFI will sense the imbalance and trip.

An arc fault detector would be able to sense the shoddy wiring in the box sparking away and trip without needing a ground path of some sort.

Yes and no.

In general, 30mA is taken as the current at which electricity starts to become lethal. Therefore, in many countries a 30mA GFCI is standard. It's mandatory in mine to have a 30mA gfci in any new installations, or in installations that are getting a major renovation.
They switch off in 2 or 3 AC cycles. So if you get a shock bigger than 30mA, it'll turn off and almost always prevent you from dieing.
As soon as you pick the thing up and *you* become the ground path, it'll trip.

In 230v countries it's fairly normal for a GFCI to trip if you touch something like that ungrounded bandaid box that has become live due to a wire that came loose and contacts the box. The GFCI won't trip if the box (now live) is just sitting on the work bench, but it often trips if you touch it and get shocked by it.

If it didn't trip (for instance if you're wearing well isolating shoes, are standing on a wooden floor in an attic etc) you'll still get a shock, but the current is likely to be too low to trip the GFCI. If that's the case, the shock is also unlikely to be lethal because it's below 30mA.

Sometimes 10mA GFCIs are also seen, usually in stuff like inflatable jacuzzis and electronics workshops. They're in my region not very common for domestic installations.

Occasionally you'll also find a 300mA GFCI. Those are from the days that washing machines etc had considerable ground leaks, and the 30mA GFCI would nuisance trip. In industrial installations they're also somewhat common because the RFI filters can leak a whole lot (because of their design, it's normal)

Here, have a time link, but they're worth a full watch. Ann Reardon is a delight and the evolution of her debunking videos from "Let me make this nonsensical 5 Minute Craft recipe exactly as directed and have my husband taste test the horrible results" to "Where do these videos come from? My investigative journalist husband will expose a Russian content farm that's seeding propaganda into their nonsensical recipes" has been fascinating.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITP6uA8AFto&t=676s

She explains how the short circuit works and then plugs the pewter "phone charger" plug into an unpowered extension cord, which trips the circuit breaker to the entire house when she turns it on.

Her original fractal wood burning video got reinstated, too. I'm guessing it was banned more because she highlighted the way Youtube reuploads content onto their facebook page so they get the views instead of the original creator than for the actual wood burning content.

I had the bright idea of putting my dad's hifi speaker's wires into a wall socket when I was six. Surprisingly it didn't break the speaker but I presume a fuse was blown even though I didn't know of such things then.

That brief noise sure taught me that some things are not to be tinkered with. But I didn't do that without some PPE: I held the wire in my plastic toy pliers so I must have heard something about conductivity!
