They can kill you.

Yes, electric currents can kill you, but only if it is very strong. Electric current can do many things. Electric current is run through wires mostly to push certain things. In a lightbulb, the current is restrained and the energy created by the current is turned into heat and light energy. In a fan, the electric current is used to turn the rotor which produces kinetic energy.

Electric current is able to do tons of different things, and are used in most aspects of our daily life.

Answer

The original answer is quite wrong in suggesting that only a 'very strong' electric current can kill you! In fact a current of just 30-odd milliamperes will kill you. This is a very small current (e.g. a 60-W /230-V lamp draw a current of 260 mA!

What is the Ampere force law and how does it relate to the interaction between electric currents?

The Ampere force law states that two parallel electric currents attract or repel each other depending on the direction of the currents. This law helps explain how electric currents interact with each other, either attracting or repelling based on their directions.
