The voltage doesn't determine the danger. Your body gets charged up
to several thousand volts when you scuff across the carpet on a dry day ...
just before you come up behind your sister and zap her ... but if you know
what you're doing, you can kill yourself with a 12-volt car battery.
The danger depends on how much current flows through your body, and
on the path it takes. Something like 15 mA (0.015 Ampere) of current can
contract a muscle with enough force to break a bone, or can stop the heart.
The current, and the path it takes, depend on . . .
-- the voltage between two points on your body,
-- where the two points are, and
-- the resistance of the contacts with your body, i.e. how easily the
connection gets through your skin to the warm slithery juices inside.

What is the voltage that causes the most human deaths each year?
120 volts A/C, or some might refer to it as house current.

How sensors detects human being?
sensors can detect blood flow ,the movements of body and IR sensors can find the temperature of human body
Why you are using negative voltage in the BTS?
1. To reduce the lighting effect mainly in rainy season. 2. Less corrosion because +ve can create more corrosion in the BTS system. 3. Safer for human body.
Why is the field rheostat of a DC motor kept at minimum position while starting?
If you are talking about the field rheostat on a generator, once you have the correct voltage output set, it is very unlikely that it has to be touched again. If it is the generator's first start up, then it is best to set the field on the low side so as not to over excite the generator and drive the output voltage higher that what the generator's specifications are rated at. The field excitation voltage does not have to be set at the minimum position on every start up once it is set for the correct output voltage. A good example of this is a hospital standby generator, it starts up with no human intervention needed.
How can i train my st.bernard to let me ride on her back she is 230 pounds and 33 inches at the shoulder i am 14 and 120 pounds she can safely carry me?
Dogs' backs are not designed to carry the load of a human being. Asking your dog to carry you is unwise.
Which is the first spaceship tp carry a human being into space?
Vostok 1.
How long do human being females carry babies?
Usually 9-10 months.
What is toxic to a human but fine to an animal?
raw tripe can be safely eaten by a dog but not a human
What does 5 ampere does to a human?
It depends on the voltage
Why can't human beings sit safely on electric power lines?
Theoretically, human beings can sit safely on an individual overhead line conductor, providing no part of their body comes into contact with another conductor or the earth. In practise, of course, it's another story as it's highly improbable that anyone could approach a high-voltage line in the first place!
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
What rock can a human safely eat?
Rock salt and rock candy
What's the maximum human weight that an average office chair will safely support?
Most office chairs can safely support 250 pounds.
Can a golden eagle carry a human being?
A Golden Eagle itself weighs only 7-15 pounds, so there's no way they could even possibly carry an adult human. An infant, maybe. They do sometimes attack and kill fairly large animals (deer, for example), but they don't carry them off, they feed at the kill site.
What is a bearable current for the human body?
If voltage is below 30 volt human body can bear many amperes but if voltage is above 30, even micro ampere is not bearable .
Do human worms carry on to dogs?
no
