That is difficult to answer because there is no fixed answer. As an experiment put both terminals of a 9V battery on you tongue. It will not hurt you but you will surely feel it. Now put your thumb across the terminals of that same battery. Two things should now be obvious to you: 1) that even low voltages can "hurt" you under the right conditions, and 2) voltage is not the only factor that determines how harmful.

∙ 12y agoIt is not the voltage that kills it is the amperage. 1000 milliamps equals 1 amp.
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 do run 380V motor in 440V supply voltage?
You can use a voltage regulator IC/transistor that can take any input voltage (to a point) and spit out whatever voltage you want, depending on your application (in this case 380 volts) then be sure you build a regulator with the correct IC/transistor. Hope this helps!
How many amps does it take to run a 1000 watt bublb?
To answer this question the voltage needs to be known.
How do you check 480 volts line coming from comed?
This high a voltage is an industrial voltage. If you are concerned about variations in the voltage call your utility supplier to get them to check it for you. They can connect a recording volt meter to the line an it gives a print out over a 24 hour period. If that is not an option call a qualified electrical contractor and ask him to take a reading for you. A voltage of 480 volts is not a voltage that the ordinary layman should be opening panels and getting into.
What is the rms of 10v?
The rms of 10V is 6.02V. Take the peak voltage of the sine wave and multiply it by 0.707.
What does a voltage waveform look like?
It can take (almost) any form, but what comes out of your wall is close to a sine-wave.
How much force does it take to crack a ski helmet during a fall?
A lot, but that doesn't mean it'll take a lot to injure your head.
What happens when you take a risk wile driving?
You may cause an accident, injure yourself or someone else, cause damage to property or end up with a traffic violation.
What to do for a puppy that have a head injure?
Take it to your vet.
How much dose it take for a human to feel voltage?
3,000 volts
Why swords is mightier than pen?
because you can fight with a sword and injure someone severely very quickley and it doesn't take much to kill with it but if you try to kill someone with a pen, the person you're trying to kill has to be pretty stupid if they can't defend theirself.
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.
How much psi does it take to kill someone?
a lot
How can lightning cause death?
The body can't take so much high voltage causing it to just stop.
What to do if you have too much freon in your car?
take it to someone that can reclaim it
How much voltage does it take to wash your hands in a sink?
Electricity? Plus water? Deadly. Is this really the question you wanted to ask?
Why doesnt The Undertaker fight that much?
The Undertaker has recently had a much lighter wrestling schedule due to his recurring knee problems.He would injure himself permanently if he was too take up a more active role within the WWE.
How much voltage is too much?
The human body can be electrocuted by as little as 10 milliamps (mA) of current.Remember that voltage is a measure of the pressure driving the current, whileamperage measures how much current flows through something (in this case,you). Also keep in mind that 10 mA is 1/100 of an ampere; it doesn't take thatmuch to disrupt a heartbeat. Too much voltage is whatever it takes, betweenthe two points where the circuit contacts your body, to drive 0.01 ampere ofcurrent through your heart.Another AnswerToo much voltage is whatever voltage causes its insulation to break down.
