Current can kill you for several reasons...

  • The power dissipated can be so high that you get burned.
  • The shock can cause you to jerk, either striking somthing and physically hurting yourself, or causing you to fall off something.
  • The current flow can cause muscles to spasm, potentially stopping your heart or your breathing.
  • The current flow can damage things, such as the SA node in the heart, causing the heart to go into Ventricular Fibrillation, even after the current is removed.
  • etc.

What do electric currents do?

They can kill you.Yes, electric currents can kill you, but only if it is very strong. Electric current can do many things. Electric current is run through wires mostly to push certain things. In a lightbulb, the current is restrained and the energy created by the current is turned into heat and light energy. In a fan, the electric current is used to turn the rotor which produces kinetic energy.Electric current is able to do tons of different things, and are used in most aspects of our daily life.AnswerThe original answer is quite wrong in suggesting that only a 'very strong' electric current can kill you! In fact a current of just 30-odd milliamperes will kill you. This is a very small current (e.g. a 60-W /230-V lamp draw a current of 260 mA!

Will 450v kill you?

As I recall from my engineering courses, it is not the voltage that kills you but the current. So 450 Volts at a low current may not kill you.
