Amps and volts are two different values so in your question they can not be compared. If you want to know which one can do the most damage to a human body then the amperage wins hands down. The following list is the tolerances that the body can stand.

1 amp equals 1000 milliamps

Less than 1/2 milliamp no sensation

1/2 to 2 milliamps Threshold of perception

2 to 10 milliamps muscular contraction

5 to 25 milliamps painful shock (may not be able to let go)

Over 25 milliamps Could be violent muscular contraction

50 to 100 milliamps Ventricular fibrillation

over 100 paralysis of breathing.

4 volts is a many watts?

4 volts and how many amps? Watts = amps x volts. It depends on the amount of current (in Amps) flowing at 4 Volts... See Ohms Law: Watts = Volts x Amps If you have 2 Amps flowing at 4 Volts you are dissipating/consuming 8 Watts. If you have 10 Amps flowing at 4 Volts you are dissipating/consuming 40 Watts.


What gauge wire is needed for 200 feet with 110 volts and 50 amps?

6 AWG will handle 50 amps with a voltage drop of about 4 volts. If you go to 4 AWG and limit to 50 amps your voltage drop will be 2.5 volts.


What is the voltage of an appliance that has a current of 3 amps and a resistance of 4 ohms?

12 volts.


How do you convert watts into amperes?

To convert watts into amperes you divide the circuit voltage into the watts. Amps = Watts/Volts. <<>> Converting Watts to Amps The conversion of Watts to Amps is governed by the equation Amps = Watts/Volts For example 12 watts/12 volts = 1 amp Converting Amps to Watts The conversion of Amps to Watts is governed by the equation Watts = Amps x Volts For example 1 amp * 110 volts = 110 watts Converting Watts to Volts The conversion of Watts to Volts is governed by the equation Volts = Watts/Amps For example 100 watts/10 amps = 10 volts Converting Volts to Watts The conversion of Volts to Watts is governed by the equation Watts = Amps x Volts For example 1.5 amps * 12 volts = 18 watts Converting Volts to Amps at fixed wattage The conversion of Volts to Amps is governed by the equations Amps = Watts/Volts For example 120 watts/110 volts = 1.09 amps Converting Amps to Volts at fixed wattage The conversion of Amps to Volts is governed by the equation Volts = Watts/Amps For Example, 48 watts / 12 Amps = 4 Volts Explanation Amps are how many electrons flow past a certain point per second. Volts is a measure of how much force that each electron is under. Think of water in a hose. A gallon a minute (think amps) just dribbles out if it is under low pressure (think low voltage). But if you restrict the end of the hose, letting the pressure build up, the water can have more power (like watts), even though it is still only one gallon a minute. In fact the power can grow enormous as the pressure builds, to the point that a water knife can cut a sheet of glass. In the same manner as the voltage is increased a small amount of current can turn into a lot of watts.


What minimum fuse rating is needed for a 12 volt circuit when using one 48 watt bulb?

The formula you are looking for is Watts = Amps x Volts. Amps = Watts/Volts. This comes to 4 amps load. Minimum size fuse would be 5 amps.


What voltage is applied to a 4 ohm resistor if the current is 1.5 amps?

Ohm's law: Volts = amps times ohms In the case of a 4 ohm resistor with 1.5 amps of current, the voltage is 6 volts.


How many watts is equal to 4.3 amps at 230 volts?

In normal simple circuits WATTS = VOLTS x AMPS So if you use a 12V car battery 4 amps is 48 Watts American 110V mains 4 amps = 440 Watts English 240V mains 4 amps = 960 Watts


How much current flows through a circuit if the if the resistance is 4 ohms and there is a 12-volt battery?

When two 4-ohm resistors are connected in parallel across 12 volts:-- Each resistor has 12V across it, so the current is I = E/R = 12/4 = 3 amperes.-- The total current from the battery is 6 amperes.-- The effective resistance as seen by the battery is R = E/I = 12/6 = 2 ohms.-- If you didn't know the voltage of the battery, you would calculate theeffective resistance of the parallel resistors in advance like this:1/R = 1/4 + 1/4 = 1/2R = 2 ohms.When you connected them to a battery, the battery would agree.


What is the resistance in a simple circuit if voltage is 12 volts and current is 3 amps?

Ohm's Law: Resistance = voltage / current, so 12 / 3 = 4 ohms.


How many milliamps in 48.8 watts?

Milli amps is a measure of current whilst watt is a measure of power. The missing element is voltage as the formula is:- Power = Voltage * Amps ie power in Watts is the product of Volts (in Volts) times Amps (in Amps)


What voltage required to send a current of 4 amps through a resistance of 60ohm?

To find the voltage required to send a current of 4 amps through a resistance of 60 ohms, you can use Ohm's Law: V = I x R where V is the voltage, I is the current, and R is the resistance. Plugging in the values: V = 4 amps x 60 ohms V = 240 volts So, you would need 240 volts to send 4 amps through a 60-ohm resistor.


How powerful of an alternator and a capacitor would be needed to run a 6000W Subwoofer system in a 1999 Dodge Intrepid?

6000 watts divided by 14.2 volts (12 volt car system operates near 14.2 volts), gives you 422 amps. You would need 4 alternators rated at 110 amps each to make 6000 watts of power at 12 volts. If the system were 24 volts, you would only need 2.
