I can't cite a published source, but I heard it stated by faculty in my Engineering school
that 50 milliamperes (0.05 ampere) of AC (alternating current) passing close to the heart
can block the pacemaking nerve, resulting in fibrillation and death.
A regular toaster typically requires between 8 to 12 amps to operate. The exact current draw depends on the wattage of the toaster, which usually ranges from 800 to 1,500 watts. To find the amp usage, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts/Volts, assuming a standard voltage of 120 volts in most households. Therefore, a 1,000-watt toaster would use about 8.3 amps.
A typical two-slice toaster draws between 8 to 12 amps during operation. This can vary based on the toaster's wattage, which usually ranges from 800 to 1500 watts. To find the exact amperage, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts/Volts, with standard household voltage being 120 volts in the U.S.
Yes
Look for the manufacturer's nameplate on the toaster. On the toaster's nameplate there should be the voltage it requires and either the amperage or the wattage. If the amperage is not stated, use this formula I = W/E. Amps = Watts/ Volts.
On most appliances the number of watts is listed on a plate on the device. Turn the toaster over and look for how many watts it uses.
a regular toaster uses about 12.5 amps

No, a toaster cannot kill you while in use as long as it is used properly and not tampered with.
it doesn't matter how many volts pass through your body, its the amps as little as 0.1 amps can kill a human
Multiplying 15 amps x 120 volts gives you 1800 watts, or the power consumed by the toaster

if enough is passed through the body amps can kill anyone
Yes.
