How the severity of an electric shock depends on the current and voltage?

he severity of injury from electrical shock depends on the amount of electrical amperage (current) and the length of time the current passes through the body For example, 1/10 of an ampere (amp) of electricity going through the body for just 2 seconds is enough to cause death.

What causes a current in an electric circuit?
Voltage causes current to flow in an electric circuit.
What are the factors on which the heat produced the electric current depends upon?
It depends on1 the resistance of wire.2the voltage between the ends of the wire.3the flowing current time.
Is an electric voltage a varying electric current that reprsents information?
false
What do you understand by electric current?
electric current is the flow of electrons due to external energy (emf) supplied by the voltage source.
What does a resistor do in an electric circuit?
Limits current flow and drops voltage.
What current does televisions run on?
Electric current, but the voltage required depends on the electrical standards of the country you are in.
What makes an electric cuchi?
An electric current relies on several things. First, there must be a continuous connection of conductors. Then there must be a voltage or a potential difference between two parts of a circuit. It is the voltage that causes electrons to move, so generating an electric current. The amount of current depends on both the voltage and the resistance of the circuit. The higher the voltage, the greater the current. The higher the resistance, the lower the current will be.
What is the formula of electric current?
the formula for electric current is VI ,where v is voltage then I is the current. the unit used for current is ampere and volts for voltage. multiply the total I to the Voltage The formular of electric current is given by I=V/R ,I=P/V
What causes a electric current in a electric circuit?
Voltage causes current to flow in an electric circuit.
Where severity of an electric shock depends on?
Mainly the voltage, also how well you are connected to earth. If you have a quick acting earth protection relay in the supply, this should make a domestic system much safer, but high voltages as you find in power stations and long distance transmission systems are deadly. Never mess with them, unless you are trained to do so.
When does the electric current flow?
An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).

What is the difference in the current and voltage?
Current (amperes) is the rate of flow of electric charge, in coulombs per second. Voltage, on the other hand, is the electric potential of that charge, in joules per coulomb.Current and voltage are related to resistance by Ohm's Law, which states that voltage is equal to current times resistance.There is a tendency to misuse the term "current", and to apply it, for instance as "an electric current of 120 volts". This usage is incorrect. Current is current, and voltage is voltage, as noted above.
Is an electric voltage a varying electric current that reprsents information?
false
Who is resposible voltage or current for electric shock?
It is impossible to separate the two. The voltage determines the magnitude of the current, and the current causes the damage. So, they are both responsible for electric shock.
