Which is dangerous volt or ampere?

 


Volt and ampere are the two measures of electrical energy, where volt is unit of voltage and ampere is unit of current. Most people think that the voltage is dangerous but in fact current is the one which is very dangerous.


Effect of ampere on electric shock

 Here are the different amount of ampere affect the human body in different ways,

    1-10mA : Little or no electrical shock is felt.

    10- 20mA : Painful shock,  still muscle is in control.

    20-75mA : Serious shock and muscles get out of control which leads victim unable to get out                        of wire or source.

    75-100 mA : Ventricular fibrillation of the heart can occur.

    100-200 mA : Ventricular fibrillation occurs,  higher probability of resulting death.

Over 200 mA : Severe burns and contraction on muscles occur. Damage of internal organ can occur.

This give you an idea of just how much danger  there is in the home wiring system we take for granted, where wires carries 15000 or 20000 mA.
