I was working with a guy one time and he decided it would be a great idea to go piss by the transformer! He ended up pissing to close to the transformer and his piss seeped under and it may have touched a live wire! And he instantly dropped and unfortunately passed away🥺 this is just a reminder to be safe with electricity! You never know what will happen 👍🏽
I'm here after 6 young adolescents have sadly passed away following a terrible deadly electrocution while their kanwar, a pilgrimage dedicated structure, hit a 22000 high volt cable in Mauritius. More than 10 others are still hospitalized, including 1, who is in critical condition in intensive care. This is no joke but a serious matter. Today, their families and the entire nation are mourning their losses 😢🙏
I came here after I almost got died from electricity 😔 lights went out and I decided to fix main switch by myself. Open wire touched the iron part and sparks went everywhere, I'm lucky to be alive. Learnt to leave it to professionals 👍
@@dudefromnorth9410I had a so-called handy man, fix a light switch. He drilled straight through wires. So everytime I went to open the door with the key, I was feeling current, on my tongue, and it pulled my arm down a few times. I thought I was going a little cuckoo until my ex felt it too. We then realised ... He had drilled straight through. 240 v. Not sure what it all means. It happened about twenty times. 🧟.
When I was 2 years old, I shoved a dogtag into a standard electrical outlet. I'm unaware of many of the details that followed, but I've been fascinated by electricity ever since. Also this is why you put covers on the electrical outlets when you have very young children in the house!!
Modern outlets are protected. We had those in the kids rooms in the 1960s. Basically all outlet have been protected from 1980s or so on in Finland. Even extension cords have protections.,
Mistake in the video, he said “if it we’re just the Amps static electricity would be lethal” he meant to say “if it were just the volts static electricity would be lethal” static electricity is often well over 1000 volts but because it has an extremely low ampage and duration it’s merely just an unpleasant shock.
Static might be 1000 volts but those volts are dropping over the arc, not through you, thing is it is the volts that kill you as they are responsible for creating the amps. 1000 volts would probably push about an amp through a person.
A good example of high amps but low voltage is a 12v battery. The voltage isn't high enough (usually) to push the current through you, even though the battery is capable of providing high amperage. Conversely, a high voltage source, without high current (static on door knob) also won't kill you. It's always bugged me when people say its the amps that kills you.
@@joej3365 No, I did not. Amps "can" kill you, but not without higher voltages. 400 amps isn't going to do anything to you, if it's 1 volt. If it's 100 volts, that's a different story. Tell me why you can touch the poles on a 100+ amp car battery but wouldn't dare stick your finger in a 15 amp house hold outlet? What's difference? The volts. Education is important when dealing with deadly things. Yes amps WILL kill you, but not without sufficient voltage and vice versa. Static electricity is super high voltage, but has no amperage. You have to start thinking of the two as a combined unit, when talking about deadly shocks.
Question. If a human body is submersed in water, and say, a 6v electric appliance happens to fall into the water. Will it just give mild shock? Since water is inside the ears, given that between the ears produces higher ohms. And also the duration of the shock.
You can go to a bath with a 230v toaster behind 10A fuse & be safe. Adding salt to that water will decrease its resistance & probably cause water to boil between live & neutral wire inside the toaster. Putting your fingers inside the toaster will shock you, but the current would not go through heart which makes it safe. It would only hurt your hand & fingers. Most power outlets nowdays have fault current protection that cuts the power when ground leakage is noticed.
Sir some persons say that you can touch live wire(which are tighted through pillers in village almost 220V) if you are not in contact with earth because voltage will flow but current will not. But sir our body voltage is almost 13V and wire220V then current should be flow ones but I'm not contact with earth so it will stop in just second after my body voltage becomes 220V i.e. equal to wire. So how dangerous this tiny current? Who is wrong I'm or that person??
It depends, everytime when i have touched 230v i have got shocked. Sometimes im not grounded to anything & i still feel it, when i am grounded it sure hurts more. I think you can touch it in full rubber suit without getting shocked, but that ends the second you get grounded to something.
In my opinion: In direct current what kills is the voltage in combination with the resistance, since voltage by itself does not exist and the power of the source (how many amperes can the source tolerate before the voltage sinks) In alternating current, all the above apply to direct current, but also the frequency that determines the impedance. It is also the exposure time of the person to the electricity
Static discharges have low charge and energy but high current. The resistance of the skin doesn't drop to 1 kΩ being wet. They are dropping because of the voltage.
Not dangerous if the current did not go trough heart, if it did it has a change of causing heart chamber flutter which can cause death. This can occur even 24h after the shock. If power outlet had GFCI that cut the power automaticly decreases the chance of heart issues. I would not be too worried, have got shocked above 10 times & im still here. They mostly cause just burns, but there is always a slight chance of death. If you are worried you can go to hospital & get a heart film that will show if something in your heart rythm is not correct.
So I had this so called handy man come to my home to fix a light switch, at the front door. A few days later I was opening the door with the key, and felt a current like on my tongue. Then a few time after I had both current and my arm was pulling me down. That happened to me around twenty times. I thought I was going a little cuckoo, until it happened to my ex. After investigating, we saw he drilled straight through the 240v, when the electrician tested. Why do you think that happened? Other than a deliberate act. 😅@@dudefromnorth9410
2:07 Absolutely bizarre statement. 10k is much more dangerous than 100V, the offhand perception someone would get is 100% correct. 100V can still kill, but 10k will kill much faster and much more violently.
It depends on the power source & its ability to provide watts. Tazer might have 7000 volts, but not enought energy to kill you. 230v power outlet behind 10A fuse would.
@@dudefromnorth9410 Tasers kill about 50 people annually in the US. This is in the same ballpark as electric shocks. I cold not find any data on fatality rates though.
@@okaro6595 I don't think that tasers kill 50 people a year. There are deaths occuring during taser use which are rarely relatable to the actual electrical taser use itself.
I still never got my answer I want to know how high a voltage and amperage I can take shit until it kills me. I want to break world speed record for fastest RC car and I don't know if it's going to that me to death considering I'm going to take the voltage and average as high as I possibly can get it lol
Yep me too, I was taken here from their website and it says the same shit, "Humans have died at as low as 42 volts" and "Time is also a factor. A current of 0.1 ampere for a mere 2 seconds can be fatal" Not saying those cases aren't true, just want to know the average volts of the voltage caused deaths.
i'VE ASKED THIS QUESTION ONLINE MANY TIMES, WITHOUT A RESPONSE. I WAS ABOUT 6 YRS OLD, I SNAPPED OFF A LONG ICICLE , FROM MY WINDOW SILL, AND RUN IT ALONG OUR ELECTRIC FIRES ELEMENT, WHICH WAS GLOWING BRIGHT RED. IT HISSED, AND A CLOUD OF STEAM SHOT OUT, IT WENT DULL, BUT THEN BRIGHT AGAIN, AFTER I REMOVED THE ICICLE. HOW COME I'M STILL HERE. ?
If you have a battery that is 1.2 Volt and 10 ampere and you put a wire between the + and - side of the battery and the wire is not isolated, will it make an electric shock or not if you touch the wire?

My question is still unanswered. As an electrician apprentice am I putting my life at risk working live? Am I only at risk if something is plugged in somewhere further down the circuit that also draws a lot of amps? That’s the only explanation that might be helpful. So let me just ask if a standard 15amp circuit in a house is les dangerous then a 50 amp circuit used for a range/oven? You might say yes obviously but what is actually the difference? it’s the same power, right? The same as the infused power between the transformer and your house, so what is the amperage of unfused power? The only way that I’ve been told it’s dangerous is if you can’t let go, and that kind of power is talked about in volts because it’s when you get up to the 480v or maybe just 240v that cause your muscles to lock up. Maybe more dangerous if you have the Leeds on either side of your head but how do you even get yourself into that situation? Most often is between your fingers on the same hand or between your hands. Idk
As an electrician apprentice am I putting my life at risk working live? Yes, if you're working on a live circuit, you're putting yourself in danger. Am I only at risk if something is plugged in somewhere further down the circuit that also draws a lot of amps? No, if you touch both contacts on that switch or outlet, then you're technically plugged in. So let me just ask if a standard 15amp circuit in a house is les dangerous then a 50 amp circuit used for a range/oven? Yes, it is less dangerous, but still very dangerous. To sum this up, shut off the breaker on the circuit that you're working on.
If there is a voltage potential between two points, there is always a risk of electric shock. It is best to be safe and not work on live wires, this is why linemen shut off power when doing work on high voltage lines, the voltage (pressure) is easily enough to jump from your hand, through your body and through something say like a bucket lift. I've been shocked once by accident because I was trying to plug in my phone charger and couldn't find the outlet. I foolishly had my fingers on the prongs to try and guide it into the outlet, and as soon as the prongs met the outlet the voltage traveled through my fingers and gave a big shock. Thankfully because it only traveled through my fingers, I could pull away. If voltage is traveling through your hand to your foot, you may not be able to pull away. It's best not to risk it.
I don't really know what to say here, I am a computer scientist and I also work with electronics at home (just for fun) and I have a power supply that I mess with. I touch 12V 37.5 A or 5V 90A and I feel nothing. I asked ChatGPT about this and it says it is "lethal". I think this is BS. Am I wrong here? I think you need a combo of Volts Amps and you skin resistence. (My skin is about 200K Ohm) ChatGPT still says it is lethal. I believe in electroBOOM, as he says, it is the Volts that kill, not the current. Please reply to this comment, because I am confused.
It is the current that flows through you that kills. The amount of current flowing through you is determined by the voltage across your body and your resistance (ohms law). With such low voltage almost no current can flow through you. With moisture your resistance drops so I wouldn't touch anything more than 24V with wet hands. Its not surprising that ChatGPT got it wrong because even most people have difficulty understanding that there is a difference between power supply current capability and the actual current flowing through you.
If there was a supply capable of raising the voltage up to 72,000 Volt's while also containing the capacity for current to reach 46 milliamps alternating the current at the frequency of 54.8 HZ sine wave, is it lethal to touch it, since it takes 100 to 200 milliamps to kill?
voltage and frequency is directly proportional to how dangerous is it. 54.8hz is a decent amount and 72,000 volts is a lot. This will produce more than enough current to kill you.
A 17 year old kid in my city was in a hookah bar when he got a call & to attend it he went to the terrace of the building , while he held the phone with one hand he put his other hand on an eletricity pole for support but he got a really bad shock , even his friend who tried to rescue him got his own hand burnt & the initial boy died due to the heavy current.
the electric pole was definitely defective there is no way that cell phone could have had to do with the shock if then always live or if the deck was wet and live then that could have done it. I noticed that sometimes they take the 10000 volt lines and put them underground so The poles are use d to transition has 10000 volt lines going down the side of it the insulation is supposed to be good enough but it can degrade over time and absorb moisture so this could have been what happened also.
What about the electric protection systems that open mains when Leakage current is more than 30mA ? meaning, taht for me, the current limitation should be told as being 30mA.
day of a millennial there is two theory’s one is - to + and the other is + to - this one is used in car or making any type of circuit and make a more sense to me but idk what - to + would be used for
Electrons flow from negative to positive to create current, yes. However, convential current goes from positive to negative which is what this video used.
Electrons flow from an area of high concentration to lower concentration, releasing potential energy. However, in electrical engineering, we define positive current flow as being in the opposite direction to electron drift (which is a negative charge) by convention. Blame Benjamin Franklin.
Back in the days, scientists and engineers believed current flow from +ve to -ve. So all teachings were done that way, books were written that way and formulas were depicted that way. But later on, it was discovered that electrons flow from -ve to +ve. But it was too late and would be too hectic to change every book and teachings around the globe. So, the previous flow is called conventional flow (from +ve to -ve) and is still used in colleges and universities as a mode of teaching... whereas the later flow is called electron flow (-ve to +ve) which engineers know is the correct flow, but will usually use conventional flow anyway, because all symbols of electronic devices like diodes are written according to conventional flow way before electron flow was discovered.
I was taking the plate off a water heater and the plate tbiuched a terminal on the water heater as I took it off and it shocked me but it was a quick zap should I be worried
It’s the amps that kill but you need a high voltage to overcome your skin’s resistance. So low voltage high amperage can burn you but it won’t shock you.
At low voltages almost no current can flow through you so the only way to get burned is by touching some hot metal or arc that the high current created
It will be a bit dangerous to say that almost no current can flow through your body at low voltages. Not quite. While it's true that at low voltages, the risk of electric shock is lower, but even at low voltages, if there's a sufficient path for electricity to flow through your body, it can still result in harm. The human body has a certain resistance, and even a small amount of current passing through it can cause muscle contractions, pain, and potentially serious injury. Also, it's not just high currents that can cause burns. Even relatively low currents passing through the body can generate enough heat to cause burns, particularly at points of contact.
your body has a certain resistance. How can you have a high amperage without a high voltage for a given resistance? It does not make sense. You need a high voltage to deliver that high current to you.
Sir i have purchased a 3amp 12volt adapter from local market and when i touch the output it with my finger i have shock Does it happen or its a bad one
Hello dear sir When I Shake hand with other person or other things, so I feel electrical short. Same time I feel high electrical short. same time I use Gloves: Can you tell me what happened with me. Please tel me about problem
I littera;y went on my phone to check my notification, felt a sting right where the charger input is, then rested my arm down and then got shocked again my my laptop SMHHHHHHHH
This video checks out. Theory explained well. As a good general rule of thumb, anything above 30V should be treated with caution. I work in an industrial setting where 24VDC is the control voltage level. It is very safe and I rarely think twice if I have to work on it live. Damp skin and barefoot would be a different experience, but still not lethal.
Just got held up by 110 couldn't let go for about 2 or 3 minutes. I swear I have ptsd from it now... it was at work and the fuse(s) didn't blow like a breaker would trip at home. 30 amps... I'm still alive somehow
@@youhan911 If the potential difference i.e. 12V is low then the electricity will only flow through your skin and to the ground at the most. As 12V isnt enough to cause your dielectric skin to break and conduct electricity 'through it', only a minor spark could be created you will receive a sharp pinch due to heat on that skin area, nothing fatal.
@@youhan911 1) 24V-600A means that the battery will have 24V at the terminals and the connected load cannot draw more than 600Amps at the set 24V. Else the battery will discharge faster / damage or the device connected wont operate as expected. Also important to know is 24V-600Amps for how many hours? 2) Current gets drawn by the load depending upon its consumption needs.....Therefore when a human body touches 24V it will feel nothing/little only but a few milliamps due to conductivity of skin. But if you connect a DC fan (for e.g.) which draws say 24V drawing 1A, it means that the DC Fan will SUCK 1amp of electricity, if you reduce the voltage to 12V, the battery will burn out. If you raise the voltage to 48V the (keeping everything same) It will draw more and our fan will Burn out. Now if you have felt a tickle at 12V then naturally you will feel more than a tickle at 24V. Thus, Humans dont run on elctricity, i.e. we dont draw electric current when connected ,but if higher voltage is applied across our skin the this breaks the dielectric -ness of skin and conduct electricity, which may result in death.
I just touched my heater had problems in electricity yesterday it blew up but not an big one so i was getting my towel off of something metal and then I got an electric shock that heater can almost kill me but i touched something connected to it but it was in somewhere that sometimes have low electricity so i felt like something like sand moved in my hole arm it hurt for like 2mins but after it was good atleast if it was at full electricity atleast 100-30 or 10 voltage
High voltage might kill you easly. As voltage is nothing more than a force upheld by amount of energy, to keep a distance between potentials. The bigger potential you want to have, ergo higher voltage, you must put more work into it, and work force is coming from energy directed from calories extracted from various sources of fuels. Such as burning black coal. The current can only appear in two conditions: 1. there must be source of voltage 2. the circut is closed. Disclaimer: this is very narrow explenation of topic.
AC is more dangerous because it can overcome the capacitance of the body. The higher the frequency of AC then the more dangerous it becomes. Of course we need voltage to overcome resistance and amperage to deliver power. BTW the main AC power bus on aircraft is 400Hz at 115V, this is very dangerous and can give excruciating shocks.
@@agl0d16 Yes, as frequencies move beyond the AF spectrum the sensation of electrocution at safe voltages would be more like DC. At RF the skin effect will also come into play. I think the most dangerous frequency for the nervous system is somewhere around 700Hz ?
Wait what I found you randomly on RUclips?!?!?! Man I used your songs all the time in my home-setup to impress friends and annoy neighbours (SVS PC-ultra), the house just shakes. Hope you find the passion to make a few more, much love from The Netherlands
Many a time I have been shocked when plugging in a cord to an outlet because I accidentally touch the prongs as they begin to slide in. Man that will wake you up
First of all It is voltage that kills and not Current. Ask the Electrical engineer at a generating station....Ohms law doesnot states "Voltage = Current times Resistance"
basically if the frequency is high enough, and the voltage is high enough, you can be in trouble. this video makes it sound like if its 1000000 volts and 0 amps you're ok but that's so untrue. Amps don't matter at all when it comes to the wire you're touching. 240v and 1A is much more deadly than 120v 10000A
@@bc1173 When you talk of High frequency, we are indirectly referring to High energy which is proportional to the Voltage- that kills. Current comes in the picture a much later when the dielectric is already broken. Frequency holds good in AC system but in DC system frequency is zero, "so again beware of high voltage".
I experienced .1 amp @ 240v, and I couldn’t move, couldn’t talk or yell, and the sound of being electrically shocked in my head was so loud, I passed out while I was electrocuted because I can’t remember past a certain point. What saved my life was the electrical panel caught fire, severing the connection. The wire I was stuck on, it was broken and I was asked how I broke the wire while I was being electrocuted. So when the power source was severed by the fire, I dropped because I was unconscious, my body weight breaking the wire.
TheLaptopGamer What did I feel as I was being electrocuted, or after? I was about 9yo, I wasn’t taken to the hospital but I should have been. No one saw what happened is why...no one knew the severity of the situation. Apparently I didn’t have any color at all, and looked deathly is what I was told, but that wasn’t enough to take me to the hospital I guess. I was also told I shouldn’t have survived.
I'm in Europe (230V) and I've recently stepped with a naked toe in a multi socket that was laying on the ground, giving me what I think is described here as the 'unpleasant shock'. I've found this video very helpful but I'm still wondering if in the USA (110V), the shock would have been different? How are the Amps related to this?
the standard lighting circuit or circuit for bedrooms outlets in the US is 15 amps. 20 amps for bathrooms and kitchens. In europe, the circuit breakers or fuses are set for much lower amperage. So, more "push", less current flow. Here, its more current less "push/pressure". So, the shock is similar
@@coppulor6500 Actually the shock would be less strong and less dangerous with 110V because even though the max capacity for amps in the US is greater, the resistance of the persons body would limit how many amps are drawn, and more amps can be drawn at 230V or the same resistance per ohm's law like the video explained.
Is it really only the amount of electrons flowing through your body that can harm you? Volt expresses how much force each coulomb pack upon collision, so that would also def intuitively seem to matter. How much it hurts getting punched by in the face by the same fist matter according to how fast the fist is thrown ':D
Voltage is the real determinant of the amount of current that flows. If the voltage is low the current can be somewhat limited, meanwhile, if it's high, the current is very lethal and somewhat not limited; and yes, a hard punch hurts
Explained everything apart from what the title. I mean can someone if they are introduced to 12 V and 5000 amp DC current. Don't beat around the bush. Everyone knows how flow of electricity happens and the leathality part
I touched a water bucket with a device in it that can put out 2 KW, in order heat the water. The fing was broken and it shocked me real good. I forgot what was actually doing, when I checked on the water temperature. Funny eh? PS: Could I have died from the shock?
Water has high resistance & since you was not between live & neutral wire the current that went through you was probably pretty small. If you felt the shock from your hand to legs, thats a big one. If you only felt it in your arm nothing to worry about. 30mA can be fatal if it goes through heart but in your case i think it did not since there was water between you hand & the device creating resistance. Electrons wants to travel from neutral to live wire inside the device, they dont randomly spread around in the water, if you was well grounded some of them probably went through you to the floor.
I’ve been hit by a 440V industrial machine it didn’t burn me but my arm and chest felt fuzzy/weird for hours, 220V is nothing, 110 even more so I use my hands as an electrical tester for 110 up to 40 amps
That is those weird Indian units. Lakh is 100 000. India gas a weird system where after 1000 they group into twos and not into threes, so they have units for 100 thousand, ten million, one billion, 100 billion etc.
Abuser torturing me with electrocution & electric zaps, thinks since electricity is invisible. I won’t be able to describe it or do anything about it. Was given tens of zaps so I wouldn’t watch this video
That is true but it is also time dependant and depends also on current path and type (AC or DC). 20 mA of AC are as deadly as 60 mA of smooth DC with a duration > 2 s and a left hand to both feet current path.
Had to know what happens when you inhale electricity,,,have just left my room after realising that my heater socket is behaving funny... something about to explored....
This tells us nothing about how modern systems would affect the body even when we are wet. Not impressed. Is it 110v or 220v? Is it 330v? Probably... Did they explain why?
Incorrect. 12v you cant even feel. 0,05A are enought to kill you, but that requires high voltages above 100v. You could have 1000A with 12v, but your body has such massive resistance that nothing would happen since current cant go through you.
If the 1 A go through your body yes. But with 12 V (AC or DC) you won't have a current of 1 A through your body as the lowest resistance for even micro shocks is never below 50 Ω.
Your body has a finite resistance. If you already have a given resistance, the voltage determines the current by Ohm's law. When a voltage source says 12V and 1amp. It means that it can only reliably deliver 12V if the load draws a current less than 1amp. Imagine you placed a 12ohm resistor across that 12V source. Then the current will be 1amp. if you have a 10ohm resistor then the current will be 1.2Amps if you still have 12V. However because of the 1amp current limit, your voltage might no longer 12V at that point and the current is not exactly 1.2Amps.

Question. If a human body is submersed in water, and say, a 6v electric appliance happens to fall into the water. Will it just give mild shock? Since water is inside the ears, given that between the ears produces higher ohms. And also the duration of the shock.
It will definitely shock you, it likely wont kill you. it would give you around 0.02 (20 milliamps) of current.
you would need to complete a circuit before you got shocked, just dropping something into water is not enough
No such thing. You're confusing V and Amps
You can go to a bath with a 230v toaster behind 10A fuse & be safe. Adding salt to that water will decrease its resistance & probably cause water to boil between live & neutral wire inside the toaster. Putting your fingers inside the toaster will shock you, but the current would not go through heart which makes it safe. It would only hurt your hand & fingers. Most power outlets nowdays have fault current protection that cuts the power when ground leakage is noticed.
@@bc1173 No way would 6 V kill.
Sir some persons say that you can touch live wire(which are tighted through pillers in village almost 220V) if you are not in contact with earth because voltage will flow but current will not. But sir our body voltage is almost 13V and wire220V then current should be flow ones but I'm not contact with earth so it will stop in just second after my body voltage becomes 220V i.e. equal to wire. So how dangerous this tiny current?
Who is wrong I'm or that person??
It depends, everytime when i have touched 230v i have got shocked. Sometimes im not grounded to anything & i still feel it, when i am grounded it sure hurts more. I think you can touch it in full rubber suit without getting shocked, but that ends the second you get grounded to something.
In my opinion: In direct current what kills is the voltage in combination with the resistance, since voltage by itself does not exist and the power of the source (how many amperes can the source tolerate before the voltage sinks) In alternating current, all the above apply to direct current, but also the frequency that determines the impedance. It is also the exposure time of the person to the electricity
Static discharges have low charge and energy but high current. The resistance of the skin doesn't drop to 1 kΩ being wet. They are dropping because of the voltage.
@@barry1122 The internal resistance lays around 500 Ω. So at 20 000 V there will be a peak current value of 40 A. That's the way it is.
Finally someone who knows what he is talking about.There is so much nonsense in this issue.
Can anyone explain to me if you get shock from 240 but don’t get a burn and just slight tingle is it something to worry about ?
Same exact thing with me
How did you get shocked and how long
Not dangerous if the current did not go trough heart, if it did it has a change of causing heart chamber flutter which can cause death. This can occur even 24h after the shock. If power outlet had GFCI that cut the power automaticly decreases the chance of heart issues. I would not be too worried, have got shocked above 10 times & im still here. They mostly cause just burns, but there is always a slight chance of death. If you are worried you can go to hospital & get a heart film that will show if something in your heart rythm is not correct.
Yesterday i got a electric shock (240 volt)during switching off the fan with barefoot and plastic scale in my left hand
So I had this so called handy man come to my home to fix a light switch, at the front door. A few days later I was opening the door with the key, and felt a current like on my tongue. Then a few time after I had both current and my arm was pulling me down. That happened to me around twenty times. I thought I was going a little cuckoo, until it happened to my ex. After investigating, we saw he drilled straight through the 240v, when the electrician tested.
Why do you think that happened?
Other than a deliberate act. 😅@@dudefromnorth9410
2:07 Absolutely bizarre statement. 10k is much more dangerous than 100V, the offhand perception someone would get is 100% correct. 100V can still kill, but 10k will kill much faster and much more violently.
It depends on the power source & its ability to provide watts. Tazer might have 7000 volts, but not enought energy to kill you. 230v power outlet behind 10A fuse would.
@@dudefromnorth9410 Tasers kill about 50 people annually in the US. This is in the same ballpark as electric shocks. I cold not find any data on fatality rates though.
@@okaro6595 I don't think that tasers kill 50 people a year. There are deaths occuring during taser use which are rarely relatable to the actual electrical taser use itself.
I still never got my answer I want to know how high a voltage and amperage I can take shit until it kills me. I want to break world speed record for fastest RC car and I don't know if it's going to that me to death considering I'm going to take the voltage and average as high as I possibly can get it lol
Yep me too, I was taken here from their website and it says the same shit, "Humans have died at as low as 42 volts" and "Time is also a factor. A current of 0.1 ampere for a mere 2 seconds can be fatal"
Not saying those cases aren't true, just want to know the average volts of the voltage caused deaths.

electroboom would disagree with you
If you have a battery that is 1.2 Volt and 10 ampere and you put a wire between the + and - side of the battery and the wire is not isolated, will it make an electric shock or not if you touch the wire?
No. 1.2 V isn't enough.
It will cause short circuit to battery & heat it a lot. It might become so hot you cant touch it anymore, but there is no way of getting shocked

My question is still unanswered. As an electrician apprentice am I putting my life at risk working live? Am I only at risk if something is plugged in somewhere further down the circuit that also draws a lot of amps? That’s the only explanation that might be helpful.
So let me just ask if a standard 15amp circuit in a house is les dangerous then a 50 amp circuit used for a range/oven?
You might say yes obviously but what is actually the difference? it’s the same power, right? The same as the infused power between the transformer and your house, so what is the amperage of unfused power?
The only way that I’ve been told it’s dangerous is if you can’t let go, and that kind of power is talked about in volts because it’s when you get up to the 480v or maybe just 240v that cause your muscles to lock up.
Maybe more dangerous if you have the Leeds on either side of your head but how do you even get yourself into that situation?
Most often is between your fingers on the same hand or between your hands.
Idk
As an electrician apprentice am I putting my life at risk working live? Yes, if you're working on a live circuit, you're putting yourself in danger.
Am I only at risk if something is plugged in somewhere further down the circuit that also draws a lot of amps? No, if you touch both contacts on that switch or outlet, then you're technically plugged in.
So let me just ask if a standard 15amp circuit in a house is les dangerous then a 50 amp circuit used for a range/oven? Yes, it is less dangerous, but still very dangerous.
To sum this up, shut off the breaker on the circuit that you're working on.
If there is a voltage potential between two points, there is always a risk of electric shock.
It is best to be safe and not work on live wires, this is why linemen shut off power when doing work on high voltage lines, the voltage (pressure) is easily enough to jump from your hand, through your body and through something say like a bucket lift.
I've been shocked once by accident because I was trying to plug in my phone charger and couldn't find the outlet. I foolishly had my fingers on the prongs to try and guide it into the outlet, and as soon as the prongs met the outlet the voltage traveled through my fingers and gave a big shock. Thankfully because it only traveled through my fingers, I could pull away. If voltage is traveling through your hand to your foot, you may not be able to pull away. It's best not to risk it.
I don't really know what to say here, I am a computer scientist and I also work with electronics at home (just for fun) and I have a power supply that I mess with.
I touch 12V 37.5 A or 5V 90A and I feel nothing.
I asked ChatGPT about this and it says it is "lethal".
I think this is BS.
Am I wrong here?
I think you need a combo of Volts Amps and you skin resistence. (My skin is about 200K Ohm)
ChatGPT still says it is lethal.
I believe in electroBOOM, as he says, it is the Volts that kill, not the current.
Please reply to this comment, because I am confused.
It is the current that flows through you that kills. The amount of current flowing through you is determined by the voltage across your body and your resistance (ohms law). With such low voltage almost no current can flow through you. With moisture your resistance drops so I wouldn't touch anything more than 24V with wet hands.
Its not surprising that ChatGPT got it wrong because even most people have difficulty understanding that there is a difference between power supply current capability and the actual current flowing through you.
@@laserdiode You probably know Styropyro, right?
He said he would keep it under 50V for safe exerpiments.
Thank you sir!
If there was a supply capable of raising the voltage up to 72,000 Volt's while also containing the capacity for current to reach 46 milliamps alternating the current at the frequency of 54.8 HZ sine wave, is it lethal to touch it, since it takes 100 to 200 milliamps to kill?
That's called a Van Der Graaf generator and it's not likely to kill you, even tho the shock will be painful
voltage and frequency is directly proportional to how dangerous is it. 54.8hz is a decent amount and 72,000 volts is a lot. This will produce more than enough current to kill you.
@@bc1173 capacity to reach 46 milliamps maximum.
46ma is not considered safe but it depends on where the current flowed in your body and for how long.
Yes. There is a chance it might kill you as it is above 30 mA
A 17 year old kid in my city was in a hookah bar when he got a call & to attend it he went to the terrace of the building , while he held the phone with one hand he put his other hand on an eletricity pole for support but he got a really bad shock , even his friend who tried to rescue him got his own hand burnt & the initial boy died due to the heavy current.
the electric pole was definitely defective there is no way that cell phone could have had to do with the shock if then always live or if the deck was wet and live then that could have done it. I noticed that sometimes they take the 10000 volt lines and put them underground so The poles are use d to transition has 10000 volt lines going down the side of it the insulation is supposed to be good enough but it can degrade over time and absorb moisture so this could have been what happened also.
What about the electric protection systems that open mains when Leakage current is more than 30mA ?
meaning, taht for me, the current limitation should be told as being 30mA.
30mA safety trips are chosen due to anecdotal evidence of people who have been shocked and the accident investigated.
30 mA is the C1 threshold for VF
nice video! doesn't current flow from negative to positive though?
day of a millennial there is two theory’s one is - to + and the other is + to - this one is used in car or making any type of circuit and make a more sense to me but idk what - to + would be used for
It’s called the conventional theory I believe
Electrons flow from negative to positive to create current, yes. However, convential current goes from positive to negative which is what this video used.
Electrons flow from an area of high concentration to lower concentration, releasing potential energy. However, in electrical engineering, we define positive current flow as being in the opposite direction to electron drift (which is a negative charge) by convention.
Blame Benjamin Franklin.
Back in the days, scientists and engineers believed current flow from +ve to -ve. So all teachings were done that way, books were written that way and formulas were depicted that way. But later on, it was discovered that electrons flow from -ve to +ve. But it was too late and would be too hectic to change every book and teachings around the globe. So, the previous flow is called conventional flow (from +ve to -ve) and is still used in colleges and universities as a mode of teaching... whereas the later flow is called electron flow (-ve to +ve) which engineers know is the correct flow, but will usually use conventional flow anyway, because all symbols of electronic devices like diodes are written according to conventional flow way before electron flow was discovered.

It’s the amps that kill but you need a high voltage to overcome your skin’s resistance. So low voltage high amperage can burn you but it won’t shock you.
Low voltage with high amperage can indeed cause burns without delivering a lethal shock.
At low voltages almost no current can flow through you so the only way to get burned is by touching some hot metal or arc that the high current created
It will be a bit dangerous to say that almost no current can flow through your body at low voltages. Not quite. While it's true that at low voltages, the risk of electric shock is lower, but even at low voltages, if there's a sufficient path for electricity to flow through your body, it can still result in harm. The human body has a certain resistance, and even a small amount of current passing through it can cause muscle contractions, pain, and potentially serious injury. Also, it's not just high currents that can cause burns. Even relatively low currents passing through the body can generate enough heat to cause burns, particularly at points of contact.
@@Scienceabc That’s what I meant to say but I oversimplified it.
your body has a certain resistance. How can you have a high amperage without a high voltage for a given resistance? It does not make sense. You need a high voltage to deliver that high current to you.

This video checks out. Theory explained well. As a good general rule of thumb, anything above 30V should be treated with caution. I work in an industrial setting where 24VDC is the control voltage level. It is very safe and I rarely think twice if I have to work on it live. Damp skin and barefoot would be a different experience, but still not lethal.
If your hands are not sweaty you will not even feel 24v.
Lets just stick to 24v less with dry hands. if your a total newbie get gloves which is always necessary anyway

So you’re telling me 0.2 amps can do physical damage? I don’t understand
I work on cars and I deal with 10 15 25 amp fuses but a car battery is 12v about 600-1000amps and that can’t kill u. So I don’t understand lol
@@youhan911 If the potential difference i.e. 12V is low then the electricity will only flow through your skin and to the ground at the most. As 12V isnt enough to cause your dielectric skin to break and conduct electricity 'through it', only a minor spark could be created you will receive a sharp pinch due to heat on that skin area, nothing fatal.
Shoeb Md so if it was a 24v battery with 600 amps that would hurt a little more?
@@youhan911 1) 24V-600A means that the battery will have 24V at the terminals and the connected load cannot draw more than 600Amps at the set 24V. Else the battery will discharge faster / damage or the device connected wont operate as expected. Also important to know is 24V-600Amps for how many hours?
2) Current gets drawn by the load depending upon its consumption needs.....Therefore when a human body touches 24V it will feel nothing/little only but a few milliamps due to conductivity of skin. But if you connect a DC fan (for e.g.) which draws say 24V drawing 1A, it means that the DC Fan will SUCK 1amp of electricity, if you reduce the voltage to 12V, the battery will burn out. If you raise the voltage to 48V the (keeping everything same) It will draw more and our fan will Burn out.
Now if you have felt a tickle at 12V then naturally you will feel more than a tickle at 24V. Thus, Humans dont run on elctricity, i.e. we dont draw electric current when connected ,but if higher voltage is applied across our skin the this breaks the dielectric -ness of skin and conduct electricity, which may result in death.
Shoeb Md that makes sense! Thank you

Killua how
Power kills and absolute power kills absolutely.
High voltage might kill you easly. As voltage is nothing more than a force upheld by amount of energy, to keep a distance between potentials. The bigger potential you want to have, ergo higher voltage, you must put more work into it, and work force is coming from energy directed from calories extracted from various sources of fuels. Such as burning black coal. The current can only appear in two conditions: 1. there must be source of voltage 2. the circut is closed. Disclaimer: this is very narrow explenation of topic.
AC is more dangerous because it can overcome the capacitance of the body. The higher the frequency of AC then the more dangerous it becomes. Of course we need voltage to overcome resistance and amperage to deliver power. BTW the main AC power bus on aircraft is 400Hz at 115V, this is very dangerous and can give excruciating shocks.
A safe amount of AC voltage above 10khz doesn't hurt that much. You could see electroboom's video on AC pain frequency. :D

and watts??
I'm a soon to be an electrical engineer. But I didn't know the answer to this
First of all It is voltage that kills and not Current. Ask the Electrical engineer at a generating station....Ohms law doesnot states "Voltage = Current times Resistance"
basically if the frequency is high enough, and the voltage is high enough, you can be in trouble. this video makes it sound like if its 1000000 volts and 0 amps you're ok but that's so untrue. Amps don't matter at all when it comes to the wire you're touching. 240v and 1A is much more deadly than 120v 10000A
@@bc1173 When you talk of High frequency, we are indirectly referring to High energy which is proportional to the Voltage- that kills. Current comes in the picture a much later when the dielectric is already broken. Frequency holds good in AC system but in DC system frequency is zero, "so again beware of high voltage".
Wait? Are you said 0.2 Amp is dangerous?
I experienced .1 amp @ 240v, and I couldn’t move, couldn’t talk or yell, and the sound of being electrically shocked in my head was so loud, I passed out while I was electrocuted because I can’t remember past a certain point. What saved my life was the electrical panel caught fire, severing the connection. The wire I was stuck on, it was broken and I was asked how I broke the wire while I was being electrocuted. So when the power source was severed by the fire, I dropped because I was unconscious, my body weight breaking the wire.

I'm in Europe (230V) and I've recently stepped with a naked toe in a multi socket that was laying on the ground, giving me what I think is described here as the 'unpleasant shock'. I've found this video very helpful but I'm still wondering if in the USA (110V), the shock would have been different? How are the Amps related to this?
the standard lighting circuit or circuit for bedrooms outlets in the US is 15 amps. 20 amps for bathrooms and kitchens. In europe, the circuit breakers or fuses are set for much lower amperage. So, more "push", less current flow. Here, its more current less "push/pressure". So, the shock is similar
@@coppulor6500 Actually the shock would be less strong and less dangerous with 110V because even though the max capacity for amps in the US is greater, the resistance of the persons body would limit how many amps are drawn, and more amps can be drawn at 230V or the same resistance per ohm's law like the video explained.
What counyry
@@coppulor6500 from latvia in europe, for apartments we have 16 A circuit with 220 v
😂😂15amps, 60hz. AC. AC is different. Itll throw you off as DC will bind you
Is it really only the amount of electrons flowing through your body that can harm you? Volt expresses how much force each coulomb pack upon collision, so that would also def intuitively seem to matter. How much it hurts getting punched by in the face by the same fist matter according to how fast the fist is thrown ':D
Voltage is the real determinant of the amount of current that flows. If the voltage is low the current can be somewhat limited, meanwhile, if it's high, the current is very lethal and somewhat not limited; and yes, a hard punch hurts

PS: Could I have died from the shock?
Water has high resistance & since you was not between live & neutral wire the current that went through you was probably pretty small. If you felt the shock from your hand to legs, thats a big one. If you only felt it in your arm nothing to worry about. 30mA can be fatal if it goes through heart but in your case i think it did not since there was water between you hand & the device creating resistance. Electrons wants to travel from neutral to live wire inside the device, they dont randomly spread around in the water, if you was well grounded some of them probably went through you to the floor.

Incorrect. 12v you cant even feel. 0,05A are enought to kill you, but that requires high voltages above 100v. You could have 1000A with 12v, but your body has such massive resistance that nothing would happen since current cant go through you.
If the 1 A go through your body yes. But with 12 V (AC or DC) you won't have a current of 1 A through your body as the lowest resistance for even micro shocks is never below 50 Ω.
Your body has a finite resistance. If you already have a given resistance, the voltage determines the current by Ohm's law. When a voltage source says 12V and 1amp. It means that it can only reliably deliver 12V if the load draws a current less than 1amp. Imagine you placed a 12ohm resistor across that 12V source. Then the current will be 1amp. if you have a 10ohm resistor then the current will be 1.2Amps if you still have 12V. However because of the 1amp current limit, your voltage might no longer 12V at that point and the current is not exactly 1.2Amps.
Asking for a friend, how much amps would it take to deal with a super loud infant. Thank you in advance = ]
