Why does electric current kill?

Answer 1

fiorst it depends on the measure of current value, which can be defined as the

amplitude or "quantity by meaurement ,

a burn to the body / skin can result .

also the effect of elctric current travelling throuh yr body would likely cause your heart to fail and stop working .

the current flow will look for the least pasth of resistance

and it may result in throwing you backwards

.

the amount of current flowing thro a body of any sort will depend on 1 the supply voltage present , 2 the amount of resistance eveident

..

the prescenec of water or moisture on surface/ hands for example will reduce the resistance t a lower than normal value and allow a current t start flowing .

..

if a large value of voltage charge is present , then a high value of discharge voltage will be released from the supply to a body and cause extreme damage t a device or piece of equipment if it is not designed for that .

or will cause a seveerre burn to the skin of a person on body where the cureent enters , and this will also have a extreme painfull, harmfull effect , putting you into hospital
