Answer / krupa reddy s

voltage

Answer / cyril

Electric shock due to electric power not because of current and also because of voltage.
The reason is we transmitting only electric power not a voltage or current.
Also with out voltage electron movement is not possibale so electric shock due to electrical power

Answer / saravanan

BOTH VOLTAGE&CURRENT

Answer / sharath

due to voltage

Answer / animesh mukherjee

Not only voltage, but voltage difference

Answer / kingshuk dey

This is an age old question!! And is a hot topic for debate!! Anyway, here's the answer to your question, simplified as much as possible.

First off, current flows due to voltage. If you touch a live wire and you're also connected to ground, such that an electric potential develops, then current will flow through you. This current causes the damage to the body, giving a "shock".

Let's assume I hire an assassin to kill Mr.X. The assassin does the damage (shock) by killing Mr.X, but the reason is ME (because I hired the assassin).

Hence the culprit is the Voltage, the killer is the current.
Hence, voltage is the cause and current is the effect (shock).

Answer / k.prakashchandra

Voltage is responsible for passing of current through the
body ,which gives shock.As the voltage increases, the
current also increases, resulting in higher intensity of shock.

Answer / k.prakashchandra

Hence shock is due to voltage and damage done is due to power

Answer / cg

For a 'Shock', we can say in one sentence that Voltage gradient is the cause and current flow is the effect due to which the 'shock' is received.
When a person touches a Current carrying conductor, a large voltage gradient is developed between the conductor and the ground 'through' the body of that person, the body becomes a path for a huge amount of current to flow through him to the ground as we all know earth is a 'potential sink'.Thus he receives a huge shock and due to the heat produced,one gets burnt or charred if severe shock is received.

Answer / ajaz sarwar

sudden starting shock is due to voltage magnitude and then due to power
