Answer / arunava
"At currents as low as 60 to 100 milliamperes, low-voltage
(110-220 volts), 60-hertz alternating current traveling
through the chest for a split second can cause
life-threatening irregular heart rhythms. About 300-500
milliamperes of direct current is needed to have the same
effect."

Answer / suresh sbit
Only 10 milli amperes (0.0001 amps) plugged into a standard
110 to 120 volt socket will provide enough current to kill
a person through the heart is enough to kill a
human..........
Voltage doesn't kill you it is the amperage.

Answer / pradyumna chandra panda
A person feel shock by 24 volt / 35 mili amp but it depend on iron contain in blood, and total resistance offer by body. the person kill by shock it depend on plasma contain in the blood , time period and heart mental conditon of the victime. A person may kild by 230 volt ac in 10 minut and escape from 11 kv for few second , there is less dc voltage required to kill a person in less period than ac voltage.

Answer / alpz
50 mA to 75mA can coz paralysis with no pulse or
respiration that leads to death,
and greater than 100mA effect is ventricular fibrillation
causing almost instantaneous death.

Answer / krupa reddy s
usually the shock is due to voltage not bcz of
current...minimum of 30v r required to feel a shock.. may
be 230v ac is enough for a person to die..in domestic
wiring we r using (210-230 v)of supply and 5A of current
this is enough to kill a person..
but dont kill any one..
