I can't cite a published source, but I heard it stated by faculty in my Engineering school
that 50 milliamperes (0.05 ampere) of AC (alternating current) passing close to the heart
can block the pacemaking nerve, resulting in fibrillation and death.

Less than 1/2 milliamp no sensation
1/2 to 2 milliamps Threshold of perception
2 to 10 milliamps muscular contraction
5 to 25 milliamps painful shock (may not be able to let go)
Over 25 milliamps Could be violent muscular contraction
50 to 100 milliamps Ventricular fibrillation
over 100 paralysis of breathing.

How many amps does a toasted sandwich maker use?
Look for the manufacturer's nameplate on the toaster. On the toaster's nameplate there should be the voltage it requires and either the amperage or the wattage. If the amperage is not stated, use this formula I = W/E. Amps = Watts/ Volts.
How many amps is needed to run 3200 watts?
Watts = Amps x Volts x Power Factor For a motor the Power Factor is less than 1 and might typically be about .75. For a resistive load like a toaster PF = 1. If you know the Voltage and PF and know the wattage you can calculate amps. Amps = Watts / (Volts x PF)
Can dc amps kill?
Yes
How many volts of electricity is needed to kill a mouse?
It is not the voltage it is the amperage that kills.
How many watts does a 4 slice toaster use?
On most appliances the number of watts is listed on a plate on the device. Turn the toaster over and look for how many watts it uses.
How many amps does a toaster use?
a regular toaster uses about 12.5 amps
What is the amperage consumption of a toaster?
Average amps for a toaster oven

How many volts does it take to kill a human?
it doesn't matter how many volts pass through your body, its the amps as little as 0.1 amps can kill a human
What is the electrical power of a toaster that uses a current of 15 A and a voltage of 120 V?
Multiplying 15 amps x 120 volts gives you 1800 watts, or the power consumed by the toaster
How many amps is needed to run 3200 watts?
Watts = Amps x Volts x Power Factor For a motor the Power Factor is less than 1 and might typically be about .75. For a resistive load like a toaster PF = 1. If you know the Voltage and PF and know the wattage you can calculate amps. Amps = Watts / (Volts x PF)
Can dc amps kill?
Yes
Can children kill?
if enough is passed through the body amps can kill anyone
Can 2 amps at 5 volts kill you?
Yes.
Can amp kill children?
if enough is passed through the body amps can kill anyone
How much current flows through a toaster with a resistance of 20 ohms when it is connected to a 110 volt outlet?
Ohm's Law Volts = Current x Resistance Amps = V / R 110 / 20 = 5.5 Amps
How many volts of electricity is needed to kill a mouse?
It is not the voltage it is the amperage that kills.
