How does the highest discharge of an electric eel compare with the voltage that comes out of a normal wall socket?

An electric eel can, in theory, generate burst of 1 Amp at 500 volts, which is more than enough to kill a human that is close enough. They only generate 300 microwatts on a continuous basis.

What causes a electric current in a electric circuit?
Voltage causes current to flow in an electric circuit.
What makes electric charges move through wires in an electric circuit?
A voltage.
What would you do if you got an electric shock?
Die depending on what the voltage was!
What controls the flow of electric current?
EMF force or voltage
What does risk of electric shock mean?
when high voltage electricity is live
What cuases electric discharge?
Potential differnce. For example, when too much voltage is built up within a thunderhead, the potential difference is high and a discharge occurs.
What is a device that changes electric current into a different voltage?
Nothing can change electric current to voltage. You can compare "current " to rate of flow, while "voltage" is the energy level. Transformers can be used to increase or decrease the voltages of alternating current as is done from 'street power' to domestic power.
What has the author F H Kreuger written?
F. H. Kreuger has written: 'Partial discharge detection in high-voltage equipment' -- subject(s): Detection, Electric discharges, Electric insulators and insulation, Testing
How does capacitor discharge while ac supply is on?
For part of the AC voltage wave, the capacitor will be above the source voltage, and will discharge until the AC voltage wave increases above the capacitor's stored voltage.
a current through a circuit with a static discharge?
Compare and contrast a current traveling through a circuit with a static discharge. Both are a movement of electrons from the negative to the positive charge. A circuit has a continuous current provided by a voltage source. A static discharge is a very rapid, non-continuous transfer of charge.
What is the voltage tolerance of a standard electric motor?
the voltage tolerance of a standard electric motor is
What is colour of argon gas?
Argon is a mono-atomic colorless gas exhibiting an lilac/violet glow when placed in a high voltage electric field (as in gas-discharge lamps)
Flow of water and electric current is compared to?
Voltage is what they are compared to.
What is used to properly discharge voltage from an unplugged computer monitor?
high voltage probe
What is used to properly discharge voltage from unplugged computer monitor?
high voltage probe
Where is the highest transmission voltage in India?
the highest transmission volatage in India is 765kV ac. The highest voltage in the case of DC transmission is +/- 600 kV.
What is a high voltage item?
High voltage is actually a subjective term. An electric utility might define it as any voltage over 35000 volts. The 2005 National Electric code defined any voltage of 600 volts as high voltage. The highest voltage allowed in a residence is 240. The highest voltage found in most industrial plants is 480. A microwave oven can have several thousand volts and can be lethal. In 1994 a university professor at UTEP was killed by one. An old picture tube type TV can also have several thousand volts in its wiring. Neon lighting can have several hundred volts. Fluorescent light fixtures can have several hundred volts.
