If you come into contact with electricity you might experience burns, muscle contractions, damage to cells and a cardiac arrest. The brain is also very susceptible to damage or disruption.
As such you should never try to, for example, fix your television set or other electronic appliance yourself; leave that to an educated repairman.

∙ 13y agoIt is usually not the voltage of electricity that kills you, but the amperes (or amps). They essentially go through your body and cook various parts of your body due to the energy being displaced as heat. High amounts of voltages can shock, and therefore stop your heart too. In fact, a 9-volt or AAA battery applied directly to the heart for 7 seconds can kill you; however, skin is a really good electrical insulator, which is why you don't die every time you touch both terminals of a battery.
