It is a combination of amperage, voltage, and the path the current takes through the body. Under some circumstances, a current as low as 10 milliamps can cause the heart to stop beating. That's ten thousandths of one amp.

How can mains electricity kill you?

Mains electricity can kill by causing cardiac arrest or disrupting the electrical signals in the body that control the heart. High voltage electricity can also cause severe burns and damage to internal organs. Overall, the most common cause of death from mains electricity is cardiac arrest due to the disruption of the heart's electrical system.


Can dc amps kill?

Yes


How many volts of electricity is needed to kill a mouse?

Around 40-60 volts of electricity is typically needed to kill a mouse. However, the exact voltage required can vary depending on factors such as the mouse's size, health, and the path the electricity travels through the body. It's important to prioritize humane methods of pest control to avoid causing unnecessary harm.


12 kilo watt how maney amps?

To convert kilowatts to amps, you need to know the voltage of the circuit. The formula to calculate amps is: Amps = kilowatts / (volts * power factor). For example, if the voltage is 120V, then the amps would be 100A for a 12kW load.


School Project Will 5000 volts kill you if it is constant shock 100200 amps will kill you- How many amps would be in 5000 volts Fence Chargers put out up to 5000 volts why dont they kill?

There are a few things that determine the severity of an electric shock. How many amps flow through you, and where it passes through you. Although stepped up to a very high voltage, electric fences deliver only a very small current, and do so in pulses so you are receiving an intermitting, low amperage shock.
