Due to current....
.....but without voltage, you will not have current....
Ohms law states Voltage = resistance * current. To state "current causes shocks", implying it has nothing to do with voltage (or vice versa) is simplicitic and inaccurate.

∙ 14y agovoltage drives current. with no voltage there is nothing to drive the current. Static electric shocks are only possible at very high voltages and hence very low currents.
Heart failure by electricution is soley responsible by the frequency of an alternating current. not the potential voltage. not the amount of current. A high current will only burn material. complicating brain signals for the heart rate with AC power will cause the heart to beat faster than what is physically possible, causing it to fail.

∙ 12y agosince both of them are responsible but the value of voltage must be more than that of the current. you can take the example of welding transformer, due to high current and low voltage welding is performed without giving any shock to the welder.
so, for electric shock voltage is the most responsible element.

What causes an electric current to keep moving?
What causes an electric current to keep moving is a steady supply of electrons.
What flows through a circuit and causes a magnetic field?
An electric current flowing through a circuit causes a magnetic field. This is due to the movement of electric charges, usually electrons, in the circuit. The magnetic field produced is perpendicular to the direction of the current flow.
Why do you get an electric shock by touching a bare wire?
electric shock is a physiological symptom caused by an electric current flowing though the body. the current causes heating and, at higher levels, burns, and eventually death. The bare wire has an electric potential of some substantial voltage above ground. This potential causes a current to flow through your body to ground. if some other part of your body is not connected to ground, no current will flow. The current causes burning in your blood stream, your nervous system, and in you tissue. the current that flows through your body needs to be above about 10mA for you to perceive it as a shock. The voltage required to produce this current, by ohms law, depends upon the resistance between the point of contact and ground.
What is the force that causes electrons to move in a conductor?
A charge is transferred (coulombs) and this amounts to an electric current (amps)
What does electric current produce?
A electric current produces a magnetic field
What causes a electric current in a electric circuit?
Voltage causes current to flow in an electric circuit.
What causes a current in an electric circuit?
Voltage causes current to flow in an electric circuit.
What causes an electric current to keep moving?
What causes an electric current to keep moving is a steady supply of electrons.
What causes electric current to keep moving?
What causes an electric current to keep moving is a steady supply of electrons.
When the wires are connected to the terminals of the battery what causes electric current in a circuit?
The resistance of the load is what causes an electric current to flow in a circuit.
When wires are connected to the terminals of a battery. what causes electric current in the circuit?
The resistance of the load is what causes an electric current to flow in a circuit.
What causes a electric current?
when a negative and a positive charges attract. or when there is a closed circuit.
How do you show that electric current causes magnetism?
Put a wire carrying an electric current near a compass and it causes the needle to deflect.
Do magnetic effect of electric current causes a change in colour in a solution through which electric current is passed?
i don't believe it does
What causes an elecrtic current to flow in a circuit?
The movement of electron towards the high potential causes electric current to flow in a circuit.
Who is resposible voltage or current for electric shock?
It is impossible to separate the two. The voltage determines the magnitude of the current, and the current causes the damage. So, they are both responsible for electric shock.
What does an increase in voltage cause in an electric circuit?
It causes a proportional increase in current.
