Yes , high voltage can be applied on a body but it is dangerous and it can cause certain death of the person.
as a voltage is applied across a capacitor charges accumulate on the plates.due to accumulation of charges,electric field between the plates develop in the direction opposite to the applied field.this field give rise to the potential across the plates.if the plates get completely charged due to the applied voltage i.e if the whole of the charge q=c(capacitance of the capacitors)xv(voltage applied) develops on the plates,then the applied voltage wiil be opposed to an extent that no further charges will induce on it.But in practice,it takes very long time for the capacitor to get completely charged due to the applied voltage..............now coming to ac circuits,having capacitor.......if the frequency of ac applied voltage is less then the voltage will change slowly.due to this at each instant large amount of charge will develop on the plates causing large opposition.vice versa to high frequency applied voltage.
The voltage applied to the corona wire in a xerographic copier or printer varies depending on the manufacturer and model, however, it is a high voltage. On the other hand, that voltage is applied but is not emitted. It is a static electrical voltage and does not go anywhere (there is no effective current)
The amount of current passing through your body and the path of the current.
It is true that the magnitude of current flow through the body determines the effects that occur. The path taken through the body is also responsible for the final outcome. For example the extremities will survive with higher current flow than the heart. There are a lot of factors that effect the magnitude of current flow, body resistance can be one variable. This changes from person to person, and from day to day , as well as conditional. For example wet hands will reduce the resistance to current flow and increase the magnitude of current through the body, dry, dirty hands/skin will have the opposite effect. With all other factors being equal (body resistance, path of current etc) The one variable that will 'push' more current through the body is the voltage level. Low voltage (less than 50V) typically has little effect. Where high voltage such as 4160V dramatically decreases your odds of survival.
Protons respond to any voltage, and moreso to high voltage. If a proton is moving away from high voltage, it must be because the high voltage source is positive. A positive will repel a positive. Certainly if the high voltage was negative, the proton would be moving toward the source. The basic laws of electrostatics apply.
A high dc voltage would be applied to test the insulation between the windings.
The generator's voltage regulator will sense the fluctuation. If the voltage goes low more current will be applied to the armature to compensate. If the voltage goes high less current will be applied to the armature to compensate.
When a higher voltage of stimulus is applied, a higher amplitude of muscle response can be found. However, if the voltage is too high, it can damage the muscle and thus lessen the response.
Lower voltages are required if connected to the low voltage side. The testing facility may not have a gen set large enough to test from the high voltage side.
Electric shock occurs when a human body has a contact to the source of voltage that is high enough to cause sufficient current to hair or muscle.
The test equipment used to test high voltage cables is a hi-pot test where a high DC voltage is a applied to the cable. This voltage can be from 150% to 200% of the working voltage of the cable.See related links below.
voltage is termed as electrical pressure. when high voltage is applied more is the movement of electrons. hence losses will be less. this is one of the major reason for which high voltage transmission is chosen.secondly due to high voltage the current will be less so as the conductor size

in the capacitor they have constant voltage wen supply is given the capacitor get charged(high voltage)and discharge energy wen the voltage is low below the applied voltag.
it depends on the specification,,,,,,in saudi arabia as per sec standards 152kv voltage should be applied for a period of one hour.
There are two possible explanations... The resistance of the applied voltage is sufficiently high, in comparision with the resistors, to cause the resistors to pull the voltage down. The resistance of the voltmeter is sufficiently low, in comparision with the resitors, to cause the voltmeter to pull the voltage down.
