I am not 100% sure but I think DC is more dangerous than AC.
Both are dangerous. It is difficult to put numbers on it, as there are too many variables which determine the amount of current which flows through you when you get a shock. There is only one safe course when dealing with electricity, and that is to assume it is always dangerous and always avoid touching anything live.

∙ 14y agodc is more dangerous than ac because ac is alternating current and dc is direct current.( in the form of 240sin wt. it means for every wt=90,270. its magnitude is 240 for other values of wt this value is varying .but in 240 volt dc at every time it is constant that is 240 volt)

∙ 13y agoI've often heard it said that DC is more dangerous than AC and there are reasons for this. But as an electrician I wouldn't consider either one safer than the other. Once you're dead, it doesn't matter and either one can kill you.

∙ 13y agoDefinitely DC which has a tendency to flow trough as opposed to AC which at hi frequency flows on the outside or skin. DC for the same amperage will generate more heat internally

Who invent AC?
Willis Haviland Carrier is wrong he invented the air conditioner AC is an electrical current invented by Nikola Tesla. Thomas Edison who invented DC, used AC to make an electrical pad, killed cats and dogs to ruin Tesla because he wanted to prove it was dangerous, but DC is more dangerous.
Ac to DC formula?
formula for ac to dc
Are DC generators more expensive then AC generators?
DC generators require more time and material to make. Because of this, it will be cheaper to purchase an AC generator. DC generators are typically a better product as well, and you get what you pay for.
Which choice defines AC and DC correctly?
Choice of electricity defines ac and dc
Can DC series motor work on ac and DC and why?
A dc series motor can work on dc and ac because dc motors are totally reversible.
Which is more dangerous ac or DC shock?
DC is more dangerous because its magnitude doen't goes zero instantly after every half cycle as in case of AC .
AC or DC more dangerous?
yes it is 230 v is deadly, it doesn't matter if it's ac or dc. Some people say one is more dangerous than the other. That implies that there is some voltage, lower than 230 v, at which one will kill you but the other will not. There is no conclusive evidence for that, so it can't be said that ac is more dangerous than dc or vice versa.
Why ac current is more dangerous than dc?
no actually dc current is more dangerous than ac because dc is a direct current and has no current zero condition ,which is very dangerous and do not leave us if we get shock while ac current leave us when we get shock
What are the advantages of DC to ac inverter?
Dc invereters are not well suited as compared to ac inverters.This is due to the reason because ac inverters are more efficient ,less dangerous and good for supply over distance.
Which is more dangerous AC current or DC current when the voltages are equal?
either one, neither one
Who is more popular ac DC or poison?
Ac/dc
Who is more famous Spider-Man or AC DC?
Ac dc
Which is more dangerous AC or DC supply?
A: DEFINITELY DC since current is steady at whatever voltage while AC must have a less voltage as is supplied. Also at hi frequency the AC will the tendency to flow on the skin as opposed to flow internally
Who is more famous Mario or AC DC?
AC/DC of coarse! I don't actually know. I just like AC/DC
What is difference between advantage and disadvantage AC and DC power transmission line?
The main advantage of ac- it required less maintainance The main disadvantage of ac-it can not be stored the main advantage of dc -it required less amount of conductors to transmit and easily stored The main disadvantage of dc-it is more dangerous than ac at high voltage
Who have sold more cds ac dc or metallica?
AC/DC, but only because there more widely known!
Can one get shocked by DC voltage?
unfortunately yes! A DC voltage is potentially more dangerous than an AC voltage due to the fact that ac swings from positive to negative and therefore passing zero volts in the process. If you were say, holding a piece of metal with AC across it you have more chance of letting go than holding the same piece with DC across it. DC is "constantly on" if you like... be careful!
