The sensation from a shock is due to current flowing through your body, not the voltage. You can have a high voltage and low current and not get hurt. A Tesla Coil is an example. As the voltage gets lower your body still obeys Ohm's Law. Voltage = Current x Resistance. If the resistance of your body remains constant as the voltage gets lower, the current will be lower. However, there are many variables that determine the effect of a shock on your body. Variables include the type and amount of current (AC or DC) and the path the electricity takes through the body.
please provide more detail, what do you mean low voltage? Also its not necessarily the voltage your worried about but the amount of current that can be supplied.
No reason that I know of - assuming you are no longer being shocked. It could depend on the severity of the shock though. With high voltage electrocution comes burns, and often the burns are internal. If the voltage passed through your gastrointestinal system, adding anything to it, even something as innocuous as water can cause greater issues.
LOw voltage shocks aremore dangerous than high voltage shock because at low voltage the electrical source pumps a lot of energy through the body for a longer time damaging vital organs. where as high voltage shock cause a layer of burnt insulting tissues which limits the current that flow through the body there by causing lesser damage.Also low voltage shock tend to 'stick' to the body while High voltage shock tend torepell the body causing superficial burn close but not close enough at low voltage your body react NOT with extreme convolsions therefore you are there to the end. at hi voltage your body will widly shake maybe to the point of disconnection. it is not the voltage that kills but ruther the current. a 2 v battery can killyou if it gets to your blood supply [SODIUM] METAL GOOD CONDUCTOR A 'D' CELL CAN DO IT ON A SHORT IT CAN DRAIN 2 AMPS ENOUGHT TO KILL ANYBODY.
The higher-voltage winding has more turns (therefore its conductor will be longer) than the lower-voltage winding and, because it will carry less current, its conductors will have a lower cross-sectional area. Consequently, the higher-voltage winding will have a higher resistance than the lower-voltage winding.
I read that it can go up to 80 Volts, any more and it becomes a shock hazard to the operator.
He simply dug into the ground and found sparks of electricity. He dug more and found huge amounts of electricity and he discribed it as voltage. Actually Alexzander Volta looked deeper in chemicals and discovered that it created it electricity and called the measurement of it voltage.
You need to be more specific. Electricity works the same everywhere -- voltage and current are used to do work.

Electricity can do more than just shock you when opening the door or make dust and pet hair to stick to you. Electricity can actually bend a steam of water and can charge objects.

b/c of what we wear.
You conduct electricity better if you are wet.

Computer understands the changes in voltages. To be more precise, a higher voltage and a lower voltage determines the action the computer takes for an input. And to make it more simple for programmers, a higher voltage is given the value 1 and a lower voltage is assigned the value 0.
Electrons are negatively charged particles. When a voltage difference exists, electrons are repelled from the more negative (or less positive) voltage toward the more positive voltage. If they are in a material which allows conduction of electricity, then the electrons will flow toward the more positive voltage.
