It depends... If the voltage were applied externally, like to fingers or toes, etc. basically nothing. If the voltage were applied to the tongue, you would feel a tingling sensation, nothing more. If it were applied with electrodes inserted through the chest directly to the heart muscle, it could stop your heart, killing you! It's not the volts that cause damage or pain, its the amps. The higher the voltage, the higher the amps. Also, if the electrodes touch moist tissue such as your tongue, the saline moisture conducts better, causing higher current. If the current gets high enough, tissues start to heat, and enough can cause tissue destruction. 7.5 volts is not high enough to do that, given the resistance of human tissue. But, even low current, if it flows through a muscle, can cause the muscle to contract uncontrollably. This is why even a small current through the heart is trouble. Unless you deliver the current directly to the heart muscle, it takes much higher voltage. If you grab an electrode with each hand, for instance, some current would flow through the heart, but because the skin resistance is so high, it takes several dozens of volts before the heart would be endangered.

Would 2.5 million volts be able to kill a person?
If the amperage is high enough, yes.
What is the difference between a 60 W and a 100 W light bulb?
60 and 100 watt in series then the 60 watt will have the biggest voltagedrop.In parallel they are the same.Using a voltage of 120 volts, the 60 watt lamp would have 75 volts across it and the 100 watt lamp would have 45 volts across it in a series circuit, bringing the total to 120 volts.
75 percent is equal to how many watt's?
Watt's are a product of volts and amps. You need to now what those are to find the wattage of a circuit and then multiply by 75%.
What gauge wire you would use to wire a 5kw heater hvac?
At 120 Volts you would draw about 42 amps. At 240 Volts it would be about 21 amps. For 120 Volts you would need 6 AWG and for 240 Volts you would need 10 AWG.
What size wire needed for 25 amps 220 volts for 75 feet?
10 AWG in copper.
How many volts would kill a person?
250
Do you check a battery's charge using volts or amps?
Volts. 12.6 volts = Full Charge 12.4 volts = 75% Charge 12.2 volts = 50% Charge 12.2 volts = 25% Charge
How many volts should batteries have?
Fully charged battery should have 12.6 volts. 75% charged 12.4 volts, 50% charged 12.2 volts, & 25% charged 12.0 volts.
How much voltage does an automobile battery supply?
100% charge = 12.6 volts 75% charge = 12.4 volts 50% charge = 12.2 volts 25% charge = 12.0 volts
Why does volt meter read less than 75 volts?
It reads what the voltage is so maybe the voltage source is 75 volts. Without stating what the voltage is suppose to be it is hard to give an answer to this question.
What are typical voltages for half charged batteries?
12.6 volts = 100% Charge 12.4 volts = 75% 12.2 volts = 50% 12.0 volts = 00%
Car battery voltage?
12.6 volts at 100% charge 12.4 volts at 75% charge 12.2 volts at 50% charge 12.0 volts at 25% charge
Would 2.5 million volts be able to kill a person?
If the amperage is high enough, yes.
What voltage will a dead car battery read?
12.6 volts 100% charge 12.4 volts 75% charge 12.2 volts 50% charge 12.0 volts 25% charge Any less and the battery is essentially dead.
How much current would flow through a 75 w bulb in a 220 v curcuit?
The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.
What is the minimum voultage for a car battery?
As read from the battery with a digital volt meter with engine off. 12.6 volts = 100% charge 12.4 volts = 75% charge 12.2 volts = 50% charge 12.0 volts = 25% charge
What size ground wire needed for 75 amps at 208 volts?
#8 copper
