alternating current is usually 120V or 240V

direct is a car battery 12V

30 milliamps is fatal

20 milliamps is something you wont want to do often

10 milliamps you may feel easily

if you are sweaty on a hot day and your bare belly is on a fender you may feel the 12V

if your skin is dry on a cool dry day you may not feel 120V

DC get you one muscular contraction you may be able to pull away using another limb

AC contractions occur many times and you can break free with the affected muscles

How can you tell the current in a circuit has changed?

Changing the way of the battery will reverse the electron and conventional current flow. By using an AC (Alternating Current) power supply instead of DC (Direct Current) the flow of current can be altered.

Which is the dangerous current?

You can't really separate them. It's the current flowing through your body that does the damage, but the value of the current depends on the voltage across your body -the higher the voltage, the higher the resulting current.


Is car battery ac or DC volts?

Batteries by definition have to be DC. While u can convert DC to AC, with a device called an Inverter, none is built into a car battery. and chances are your car doesn't even have an Inverter anywhere in it. so car is DC. in addition modern cars use 12 volts, and for the record, AC and DC are not a "type of volt," they are types of current, (Direct Current, Alternating Current).

Why do you get shocked while touching the wire in air but the crows not?

Because the crow is not grounded. untill or unless the circuit is completed current won't pass on any conductor. U too can try in air, U'll not get shocked. For Example: Wear a rubber soled shoe or a sandel and touch the line wire. u'll not get shock. Its 100% true
