Milli amp or Milli-ampere is a measurement of current. The base unit is Ampere or amp and the Milli amp is 1/1000th of an amp.
CommentThe correct spelling is milliampere -no hyphen!
A milliamp is 1/1000 of an amp. Therefore 100 MA equals 1/10 A.
It is tousandths of an amp. divide by 1000 to convert to amps
There are 1000 milliamperes in one ampere. Therefore, 100 milliamperes is equal to 100/1000 = 0.1 amperes.
Yes, 1 amp is equal to 1000 mA.

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.
It is the amperage that will kill you. In fact the amperage range is in the milliamps (one thousandths of an amp) that are dangerous. 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.
To answer this question a voltage is needed.
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.
The dangerous amount of current is not in the amp range but in the milliamp range as per the following. One amp is equal to 1000 milliampsMilliamps are dangerousLess than 1/2 milliamp no sensation1/2 to 2 milliamps Threshold of perception2 to 10 milliamps muscular contraction5 to 25 milliamps painful shock (may not be able to let go)Over 25 milliamps Could be violent muscular contraction50 to 100 milliamps Ventricular fibrillationover 100 paralysis of breathing.
Its only takes 100 milliamps to stop your heart. A USB port on a computer runs at 100 milliamps.

Not the amount of voltage
It is the amperage that will kill you. In fact the amperage range is in the milliamps (one thousandths of an amp) that are dangerous. 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.

No. It is amperage that does the damage. See the following list Keep in mind 1000 milliamps equals 1 amp of current. 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.
To answer this question a voltage is needed.
Approximately 10 miliamps is enough to be fatal to a human. 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 and over 100 paralysis of breathing.
It is not so much the voltage that kills it is the amperage. The following list is the tolerances that the body can stand. Keep in mind that 1 amp is equal to 1000 milliamps. 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.
