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.

Is it true that volts jolt?

Yes, the amount of voltage in an electrical current determines the intensity of the shock a person may experience when coming into contact with it. Higher voltages can result in more powerful jolts.


Why 220 volts in transmission is measured as 176 volts?

That is not a true statement


A light draws current of 1.1 amps at 230 volts the power onput is 200w what is the circuit power factor?

The current's power factor is the true power divided by the apparent power. The Apparent Power is the volts multiplied by the amps. In this example, the ratio would be 200/253, or approximately .79.


Would it be true to say that current causes voltage?

Volts = Current x Resistance. The voltage is where the potential resides for the amount of current flowing through a resistance. Think about the voltage as a potential source of electrons that then flow through a circuit depending on the Load, or resistance in this example.


What is not true of sinusoidal current?

Sinusoidal current is not true of sinusoidal current.


Is it true that current is a the rate of flow of electrons?

Yes, current is the flow of electric charge, typically carried by electrons in a conductor. It is measured in amperes and represents the rate at which electrons pass through a given point in a circuit.

What is true about voltage?

Difference in potential between two points. Like the voltage of an energizer AA battery is 1.5 volts BETWEEN its terminals. If you place two AA batteries in a flashlight, the voltage of the series combination of AA batteries from one tip to the other is now 3 volts.

yes


A circuit has a voltage of 240 volts and an inductive reactance of 30 ohms what is the current flow?

A circuit with a voltage of 240 volts and an inductive reactance of 30 ohms would have a current of 8 amperes.Reactance works just like resistance. The difference is that the phase angle between voltage and current is not zero, so the ratio of true power versus apparent power is not one.Phase angle and power factor depend on frequency. This was not specified in the question, so it is not answered.


Who was the person that would not die in the electric chair?

me im the one ha ha It was said that Albert Fish was that man because of the needles he inserted in his lower area of the hips and testicle area. It was not so. The man who would not die in the electric chair was Saverio DiGiovanni. He was an Italian immigrant and wool mill worker in Raritan who spoke little English who fatally shot a fellow Italian, Joseph Sansome, for reasons that were never established. A jolt of 2,400 volts surged through DiGiovanni's body for a full minute, throwing his strapped form forward against the restraints. After a few seconds had passed, the second jolt was delivered. Witness account for the tale that the second jolt did not kill him; instead he was put through another jolt. By electric chair standards, DiGiovanni's death was quick and efficient.The burning of the flesh ... did not attend this execution. the Trenton True American reported.
