Hello fren i think ac is morre dengerious for human because
when human touches electic current then it attract when as
dc reples . so ac is denger for human

Answer / prabhu

dc current never approaches zero whereas ac current attains
zero in every cycle..hence dc is more dangerous

Answer / ashish patil

Hello all of u.first all shoud know about what is AC & DC
Ac has frequency 50 HZ & it is sinosidal & AC changes with
time.But Dc has no Freuencu. Means straith line.if u
increased frequency into KHz U dosent Get shock. But itis
to less Shock level is High.
So Dc is mor Denger than Ac.

Answer / shivadatt chame

because our respected prof. has told us so a.c. current
contain sinosidal waves gives shock and d.c. does not got
shock.

Answer / pardeep kumar

Hi all,
All of u are wrong that dc is more dangerous than ac.AC is
more dangerous as in ac we get a severe shock and in dc we
do not feel any shock.Have u heard that somebody got the
shock of dc.Many times we heard that someone died after
getting shocked.The reason of dying was mostly heart
failure as our heart bit are max 72 in a minute and when we
et shock of ac its bit are around 3000 times as frequency
of ac cycle is 50 Hz in a sec and in a minute around 3000
times.So in this way AC is more dangerous.
If u have any doubt,i can give u more clarification in
regard of this.

Answer / saravanan

in d.c current flow will be no frequency,and the current
flow will be uniform through out the conductor.but in the
a.c ,there is frequency and the current flow will be not
uniform through out the conductor and it is not dangerous
than d.c
