It depends on your proximity to the circuit under consideration and your
electrical relationship to it. If your body is a part of the circuit, and the
current happens to flow through or near your heart, then as little as
0.015 Amp can ... as they say ... cause death. If, on the other hand,
you are not a part of the circuit and the current does not flow through
you, then there is no danger regardless of the magnitude of the current.

Why 30 to 40 volts of DC Is dangerous to us?
Volts alone is not dangerous, but volts does causes amps. Amps can be dangerous to you if it flows through your body. That's because your brain, your nerves, and your muscles ... including your heart ... all operate on tiny natural volts and amps. They can all go haywire when big ones get in from outside your body.
What happens to the currents in a circuit?
a cell pushes electric currents around a circuit.If there are two or more cells then more currents will flow through them.
If two eletrical loads are connected in parallel with each other and each load draw 6 ampswhat is the total current of the circuit?
When two electrical loads are connected in parallel, the total current in the circuit is the sum of the currents drawn by each load. In this case, if each load draws 6 amps, the total current would be 6 amps + 6 amps, resulting in a total current of 12 amps.
What can you increase by adding more cells in a circuit?
amps
What is the current produced when a voltage of 60 V is applied to a resistance of 15?
As the question didn't say whether the resistors were in series of parallel, perhaps both eventualities should be looked at. In series, the total resistance is the sum of the series resistors. The 30-ohm and 60-ohm resistors sum to 90 ohms. Total current will be voltage divided by resistance. The 220 volts applied divided by the 90 ohms will give 2.44 amps (2 4/9ths amps). In parallel, each resistor is connected indendently across the 220-volt source. Each one will "feel" the 220 volts and draw current accordingly. Since current equals voltage divided by resistance (just like always), we have to make the calculation for each resistor. The 220 divided by 30 equals 7.33 amps (7 1/3 amps). The 220 divided by 60 equals 3.66 amps (3 2/3 amps). The two branch currents each represent a part of the total circuit current, we have to find the sum of the branch currents to find the total current. Our 7.33 plus 3.66 amps sums to 11 amps.
What do you measure currents in?
Currents are measured in amps being I
Are volts or amps more dangerous?
Both volts and amps can be dangerous, but in general, it is the current (measured in amps) that poses a greater risk of injury or death. High voltage can cause electric shock, but it is the amount of current flowing through the body that determines the severity of the injury.
Are rip currents dangerous?
Yes, rip currents are very dangerous. Several people die each year after being caught in these currents.

What is the smallest unit of measure for current?
There is only one unit of measure for current: the ampere. All currents are measured in amps or fractions of amps or their equivalent.
What unit is current measure in?
Electrical currents are measured in a unit called amperes, which are abbreviated as "amps." There are two different designations that measure currents: direct currents (DC) and alternating currents (AC). Amperes are coulombs per second. Amperes are electrical current units that are part of the meter-kilogram-second system. A flow of one coulomb per second is equivalent to one single ampere.
If 2 amps of current enter a node of a parallel circuit how many amps must leave the node?
The nodal currents must sum to zero (Kirchhoff's current law). So the answer is 2 amps.
What Is a device that protects dangerous currents?
I THINK it's a transformer
How many amps are in lightning strike?
The average lightning discharge seems to be between 5,000 and 20,000 amps but have been reported to reach 200,000 amps on very rare occasions.
When are rip currents strongest and most dangerous?
Rip currents are channeled currents of water flowing away from the shore, which pull people away to deeper waters. The speed varies but can quickly increase and become very dangerous to even strong swimmers.
Is any dangerous fish or animals in Mississippi river Illinois?
There are very dangerous currents and you may encounter human obstacles.
Will awg 10 wire carry 30 amps for 30feet?
Yes, a #10 wire will carry 30 amps for 30 feet. If the load is rated as continuous then the wire will have to be derated to 80% capacity which will leave you with 24 workable amps. If the load demands currents higher that 24 amps then you will have to go to the next wire size up which is a #8 which is rated at 45 amps.
