No. 6 volts in effectively undetectable by the human body and produces NO negative effects. Even 12 volts, at any amperage, will not harm you.
Another AnswerThe reason for this is 8 amps will not flow through a human when 6 volts is applied. It is unlikely any measurable current will flow, in fact.The current flowing through a human is what will ultimately kill them, but the voltage must be high enough to cause a lethal level of current to flow. This relationship is dictated by Ohm's law, current = voltage / resistance.
Milliamps are dangerous, 1 amp = 1000 mA
Less than 1/2 milliamp no sensation
1/2 to 2 milliamps Threshold of perception
2 to 10 milliamps muscular contraction
5 to 25 milliamps painful shock (may not be able to let go)
Over 25 milliamps Could be violent muscular contraction
50 to 100 milliamps Ventricular fibrillation
over 100 paralysis of breathing.

∙ 12y agoIt is not so much the amperage that burns, it is the arc flash that is created by a short circuit fault. The flash happens so instantaneous that the circuit protection can not open the circuit fast enough. These arc flashes can lead to third degree burns on exposed skin. As to how dangerous fractional amperage's are review the following list keeping in mind, 1000 milliamps = 1 amp
Less than 1/2 milliamp no sensation
1/2 to 2 milliamps Threshold of perception
2 to 10 milliamps muscular contraction
5 to 25 milliamps painful shock (may not be able to let go)
Over 25 milliamps Could be violent muscular contraction
50 to 100 milliamps Ventricular fibrillation
over 100 paralysis of breathing.

Can 400 volts of electricity kill a person?
It is unlikely, unlike 110v which will cause your muscles to contract and hold, the 220v will most likely throw you off of it. However, if the amperage (based on Ohms Law) is .75Amperes or 750MilliAmps any amount of voltage can kill you. In the Ohms Law equasion the human body with no shoes on has a resistance of about 1000ohms.
How many amps does an arc welder draw?
Always check the nameplate on the device. It will have the serial no., how many hertz it operates at, the voltage, and amperage. Their are different types, so the amperage will differ as well.
What is power rating of appliances?
Wattage = voltage x amperage. Every appliance in North America is built to work at 120 V, so you have the voltage. The amperage rating is probably written in the microwaves manual if the wattage is not. Remember the amperage you put on a circuit can't be more that 80% of what the wiring is rated for in the branch circuit.
How many amp is 4 kw?
The amount of 4 kW is equal to zero amps. To find the amperage the following equation should be used. Amps = Watts/Volts. So you can see that it depends on the voltage of the circuit if the amperage is to be found.
School Project Will 5000 volts kill you if it is constant shock 100200 amps will kill you- How many amps would be in 5000 volts Fence Chargers put out up to 5000 volts why dont they kill?
There are a few things that determine the severity of an electric shock. How many amps flow through you, and where it passes through you. Although stepped up to a very high voltage, electric fences deliver only a very small current, and do so in pulses so you are receiving an intermitting, low amperage shock.
Why is A in Pretty Little Liars out to get them?
because A has so much against them, the person wants to kill them to get all their secrets out
Did Mary Shaw kill all those children in 'Dead Silence'?
Mary Shaw was a real person and she did kill little kids because the people riped her tongue out SO she does it to other ppl
When a circuit is inductive the current has what voltage?
This doesn't make sense, "current" is "amperage" so the higher the voltage the lower the amperage, and the lower the voltage the higher the amperage.
Can a bhut jolokia kill a person?
Yes, it can, it delivers so much discomfort that could kill....
Can a buzzard kill a person?
A buzzard can kill a person but they tend to eat dead or dying invertebrates so if they did, it most likely would not be for food.
What is the maximum volatge that can be bared by a person?
unlimited.....to a point... its not voltage that kills people its amperage. Amperage is the pushing force behind electricity. I, an automotive technician, have been shocked by the secondary ignition system on cars more times than i would like to remember and some of those shocks have been upwards of 50,000 volts. The shock didn't phase me one bit except for the taste of copper in my mouth. So once the voltage reaches a high enough amount and there was enough amperage to push it.... i.e. through the air and into your body. It only takes 50 milliamps to kill a person which is .050 amps. hope this helped.
Why does hiv virus not usually kill a person directly?
HIV destroys the Immune system causing a person to develop AIDS. People with AIDS have a very weak Immune system that allows infections to enter the body with little to no resistance. Its these infections that kill a person. 26 infections are "AIDS defining" and include 2 cancers,thrush and Pneumonia as examples. So HIV does not kill but it is the cause of AIDS which can.
Can a king snake kill a cobra?
Yes. A King Cobra bite can kill a person in just a few minutes. Lucky for us it tends to avoid human confrontation as much as possible.
How do you do one shot one kill game?
Yes, one hornet can kill you. Do you ever hear the expression if one hornet stings you, a little pain. If 200 hornets kill you, you die. But that's wrong. An average person could be killed by a hornet, and so can a one day old baby
What is circuit amperage?
Generally speaking an appliance (eg tv) is supplied with power so when it is off it has voltage supplied. After yo turn it on it starts to draw power called amperage the voltage doesn't get higheur but the amperage does Amperage is the load being drawn through a circiut
In the saga of Darren shan does Darren become a little person?
He becomes a little person so his soul will go to paradise when he dies in the little persons body.
Can a person kill someone if you are doing self deffense?
yes, but the object is not to kill the other person, the object is to get away. so the goal is not to kill the person attacking you. but if u accidentally kill he or she by stabbing him or shooting him. precise answer: if you feel your life is in danger you are premmited to use lethal force to defend yourself
