Is it true that volts jolt but current kills?

Yes it is true that volts jolt but current kills. Current can kill you if it is high enough, and if it goes through your heart then it will most definitely kill you. Only a small amount of current is capable of killing some one. If the voltage is high enough it can send the current through your body and to your heart.

What is the minimum amperage that will kill?

Around 100 mA (0.1 A) of electrical current passing through the human body can be enough to cause cardiac arrest and be potentially fatal. However, the exact threshold can vary depending on individual factors such as overall health, the path the current takes through the body, and how long the current flows.


How much millirems dose it take to be lethal?

About 100,000 millirems in a short amount of time is enough to kill you, but the variable in that is the "short amount of time" part

Could five volts directly to the chest kill you?

It is the amount of 'current' that passes through the body that causes shock. 20mA is enough to kill you. That's 20 thousandths of an amp.The limit to the amount of current, is the electrical resistance of the body.The body's resistance can vary, depending on which part and whether it is damp or dry.For a given resistance, the current passing through it, is directly proportional to the voltage.The more voltage, the more current. For the required amperage (0.02A) to do likely harm, at 5 volts the resistance of the body would have to be as low as 250 ohms. (by ohms law).Skin tissue is normally several thousand Ohms.Therefore, in answer to you question, no, you wouldn't even feel it.

Will gasoline kill a tree?

Gasoline is NOT good for a tree. It would kill it "IF" it is a large enough amount of gasoline poured on a young, small, sick, delicate or sensitive tree. A large, older tree and a small amount of gas is not a problem. It depends on all those factors if it would harm or kill a tree. There is potential.
