Neither, it is current that kills.

What value of electricity would kill you?
.10 amp could be fatel, the higher the ampage the more likely. Ampage is determined by the voltage and the resistance. ampage= voltage/ resistance
What is the difference between the working voltage and test proof voltage for dielectric footwear?
Working Voltage is the voltage at which the boot is safe at. Test Proof voltage is what the boot was tested up to before it failed. However you must keep in mind that if you are in wet conditions that can significantly lower the rating of the boot. Also voltage does not kill you it is the amperage.
What is the resistance of the circuit conductors when the conductor voltage drop is 3 volts and the current flowing through the conductors is 100 amperes?
you have to use Ohm's law here. But first If you are not sure about currents or electricity in general then dont go messing about... 20 thousandths of 1 ampere applied across the heart can be enough to kill a man.100A will kill you instantly no questions asked!!!!Be safe.don't touch and if any doubt you must always contact a trained and registered electrician or electronic engineer.And now the question.V = IRV is the voltage (potential difference or voltage drop) measured in volts.I is the current measured in amperes ( symbol A )and R is the resistance in Ohms ( symbol is the Latin Omega letter)first rearrange the equation: R = V/Inow plug the figures into the equation:R = 3/100the answer is: 0.03 ohms.I don't think you will be able to get a supply that delivers 3V at 100A though.
How much is the chance of death due to 0.4Ampere current?
A 0.4 ampere current thru the body can kill, but it normally takes a fairly high voltage to get that current thru the skin, which has high resistance.
A sentence with voltage in it?
Voltage can kill a person even if you are only meters away.
What cause electrical shock volts or amps?
They both do. Voltage is a measure of electrical pressure. Amperage is a measure of electrical flow (current) (amount of electricity flowing). High voltage by itself will not kill you but will leave a nasty taste in your mouth. At the right pressure your heart can be stopped though by a single amp.
How much voltage dose it take to kill an average person?
It's not the voltage that kills - it's the amperes. A few millivolts can kill if the amps are high enough.
Can over voltage kill a car battery?
Yes
Why high voltage does not kill?
Its not voltage that kills it is current.High voltage CAN kill, if it can also provide high current (especially if the current comes near the heart as it takes under 1mA to stop the heart which isn't much current).However if the high voltage source is current limited and/or the current only passes through the extremities it is very unlikely to kill.
What is more dangerous voltage or current?
Current is what is can hurt or kill you.
How much voltage is needed to kill a human?
The voltage needed to kill a human being is 10,000,000,000 volts. Ok im not the one who answerd this question i have a question of my on... you say its about 10,000,000,000 but how fast could that kill you and another question How fast could 2million volts kill you if it could kill you? please answer back
Will a double AA battery's voltage kill a human?
No. Voltage doesn't kill you, amperage does, and the amperage produced by a AA battery is not even enough to cause a tingle. Amperage AND voltage kills. Should also include frequency in that equation. 120 v/ 10 amps of 400 hertz kills faster than 60 hz. Amps with low voltage will do no harm. You need both to kill. One AA battery would not kill you but put together enough of them? Why not?
