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.

If voltage is 12 volts and ohms is 0.5 how many amps in circuit?
Ohm's law: Volts = Amps * Ohms, or Amps = Volts / Ohms 12 volts / 0.5 ohms = 24 amps
10 ohms plus 9 volts equals how many amps?
Ohm's Law: Voltage = Amperes times Resistance 9 volts = amps * 10 ohms amps = .9
How many amps does a five horse power motor draw?
It depends on the voltage-- I think at 110v it's 4 amps per hp
What is the voltage in 5 amps?
Voltage is a measurement of electrical force and amperage is a measurement of electrical flow. They are two different things altogether.
How fast is 1000w?
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
How do you calculate kva from amps?
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.
How many KVA is 62 amps?
At what voltage? When you know the voltage then, to get the amps those kilovolt-amps contain, you simply divide the kilovolt-amps by the voltage.
Why is a low voltage shock more dangerous than a high voltage 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.
School Project Will 5000 volts kill you if it is constant shock 100200 amps will kill you- How many amps would be in 5000 volts Fence Chargers put out up to 5000 volts why dont they kill?
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.
What are the disadvantages of transmitting electric power at high voltage levels?
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.
How would the circuits work in the Lightning Reaction Electric Shock Game if you don't know google it also how many amps and watts is safe in the machine?
There are 2 sides to each controller, one is the positive side and the other is the negative side. A current is sent through that to produce the shock. I think there is proberbly a transformer in there which steps up the voltage from the small one that the batteries produce to a higher voltage which is the shock. However I think the transformer would step down the amps so that it is a safe shock.
You were given aload 2500 watts how much it draw amps?
Watts = Amps x Volts. Amps = Watts/Voltage. Amps = 2500/apply voltage here.
Why does the crow get current shock only sometimes when it is on the high intention wire why not always?
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.
Convert 1000 ohms to amps?
Can not do it without knowing the voltage I = E/R. Amps = Voltage/Ohms.
What has more power 2 amps or 7.2 volts?
Impossible to answer 2 amps could carry a lot of power if the voltage is high, and 7.2 volts could carry a lot of power if the current is high.
What causes high amps?
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.
How much voltage dose it take to kill an average person?
It's not the voltage that kills - it's the amperes. A few millivolts can kill if the amps are high enough.
