If the amperage is very low, the effect is "shocking". It won't cause any serious harm to a person, but might make them jump.
This can cause damage to electronic equipment, though; this is why it is important to ground yourself (using wrist straps oftentimes) when working on electronic equipment.
Ohm's law: Volts = Amps * Ohms, or Amps = Volts / Ohms 12 volts / 0.5 ohms = 24 amps
Ohm's Law: Voltage = Amperes times Resistance 9 volts = amps * 10 ohms amps = .9
It depends on the voltage-- I think at 110v it's 4 amps per hp
Voltage is a measurement of electrical force and amperage is a measurement of electrical flow. They are two different things altogether.
The answer is "It Depends" Watts of electircal power is defined as Voltage x Current. Amperage is a unit of current. In most houses in the US the voltage is 120 volts AC. A 100 watt light bulb in the house would have 120 volts across it so the current flowing would be: Watts = Volts x Amps 100 watts = 120 volts x I amps A amps = 100 watts / 120 volts A amps = 5/6 amps ANSWER watts is a product of voltage and current .One quantity will never suffice
To convert high voltage (HV) amps to low voltage (LV) amps, you can use the formula: HV amps = LV amps x (LV voltage / HV voltage). By rearranging the formula, you can calculate LV amps by dividing HV amps by the ratio of HV voltage to LV voltage.
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.
At what voltage? If you know the voltage then, to get the amps those kilovolt-amps contain, you simply divide the kilovolt-amps by the voltage.

There are a few things that determine the severity of an electric shock. How many amps flow through you, and where it passes through you. Although stepped up to a very high voltage, electric fences deliver only a very small current, and do so in pulses so you are receiving an intermitting, low amperage shock.
LOw voltage shocks aremore dangerous than high voltage shock because at low voltage the electrical source pumps a lot of energy through the body for a longer time damaging vital organs. where as high voltage shock cause a layer of burnt insulting tissues which limits the current that flow through the body there by causing lesser damage.Also low voltage shock tend to 'stick' to the body while High voltage shock tend torepell the body causing superficial burn close but not close enough at low voltage your body react NOT with extreme convolsions therefore you are there to the end. at hi voltage your body will widly shake maybe to the point of disconnection. it is not the voltage that kills but ruther the current. a 2 v battery can killyou if it gets to your blood supply [SODIUM] METAL GOOD CONDUCTOR A 'D' CELL CAN DO IT ON A SHORT IT CAN DRAIN 2 AMPS ENOUGHT TO KILL ANYBODY.
The main disadvantage is that high voltage causes surrounding air ionization and may cause negative health effects for people close by. However, electric losses will be less when electricity is transmitted at high voltage. The higher the voltage the less the electric losses.
As I understand it, you can touch any live wire as long as you are not touching ground. It is not the voltage that kills you it is the amps that pass through your body. So when you see a bird on a high voltage cable it is safe unless it touches something, i.e.tree branch etc that then completes a circuit to ground which then lets the electricity flow through the body then inflicting the shock. P.S. do not try this in case I'm wrong.
Can not do it without knowing the voltage I = E/R. Amps = Voltage/Ohms.
It depends on the context. Power is calculated as the product of voltage and current (P = V x I). In this case, 7.2 volts at 2 amps would result in 14.4 watts of power, while 2 amps alone does not directly indicate power without knowing the voltage.
The amount of current (amps) that pylons, or transmission towers, carry can vary significantly depending on the voltage of the transmission lines and the specific design of the system. High-voltage transmission lines can carry anywhere from hundreds to thousands of amps. For example, a typical high-voltage line operating at 500 kV might carry around 1,000 to 2,000 amps. Overall, the exact current is determined by the needs of the electrical grid and the load being supplied.
High voltage and low resistance would cause high amps. E = I R or I = E/R. PS E would be electromotive force measured in volts. R would be resistance measured in ohms. I would be current flow measured in amps.
