What shocks us ,
Current or voltage?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
The correct answer is current because when only current
flows in our body, the electrons also flow in our body and
they cause the red blood cells to puncture and damage the
plasma of our body.This causes shock and we loose our
feeling or sensation.Voltage or potential difference causes
the current flow but current gives us shock.It is known
that without voltage current can not flow.So voltage is the
source and current is the cause.

Answer / syed qamar abbas
Its voltage or you can say a potential difference which
shocks us

Answer / syed qamar abbas
Its voltage (potential difference) which shocks us any
person can touch or hold high current low voltage device
and dont feels any shock simple example the electric arc
welding,its potential difference which is responsible for
the flow of electric current thru the human body and cuases
a shock, if there is no potential difference no current
flow thru the human body

Answer / sree
current because flow of electrons in your body (current)
can only produce shock.

Answer / ramya
if you pass zero voltage by using of auto transformer u cont
feel shock so at voltage is correct answer as per my knowledge
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 14 Yes | 3 No |
Answer / rahil
we can touch the live wire carry low voltage that is 12v or
24 v without the fear of getting shock but we cannot touch
the live wire carry 180v or 230v (if we touch we will get &
we may also die)so voltage gives us shoch not current
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 10 Yes | 2 No |
Answer / manoj
We shock due to only Potential Difference not either of
Current or Voltage......................

Answer / vinod
Electric Shocks is because of current flow in our body
prepotional to the voltage and humen body resistance. ie.
current is the cause but voltage is driving the current
through the body depends on resistance of the body.

Answer / rathod
Dear Freinds,
Shocks is generated by VOLTAGE(Potential Difference).
If you touch Current injection trolly output, which have to
much higher current,nothing will happend. But if you touch
high voltage line.....think......clean bold..
but keep in mind that whatever the enjuries in body,it is
beacuse of current flow....

What is the meaning of Dyn11 of Transformer.
1. for eg, capacitor is used for many purposes(it act as filter, oscillator, bypass capacitor, memory storage etc...) 2. Please tell me some example circuits for different uses of capacitor( whenever and whereever and however we used capacitor as a filter, oscillator tuning etc..) 3. similarly for inductor and resistors(it act as what?) and when and how we want to act as like that?, and how we can used these components depends upon our requirments with example circuits and explanation? design to act as these components depends

what is the safe meggar values for motor, transformer HT, LT and Cables? IF we want to replace I/C bay at our 220 kv substation which is of 140 mw load capacity bay to be replaced by 400 mw capacity bay.other than CT(1200/1) what are the other equipment i have to replace. why we generally use 3.5 core cable or in other word 1/2 core for neutral and also confirm me that in balance conditiob(3 phase)current in neutral will zero
role of shunt coil in circuit breakers
Hello friends., my question is related to testing of current transformer... A Ct having knee point voltage of 750 volts., and I have two step up transformer's of rating 230 v to 440 volts., can I obtain the value of 750 volts by using the two transformer's.... If yes then how could I connect the transformer's to obtain knee point voltage?? thank you in advance
i have 6oo kva dry type transformer and its neutral is not grounded even body of transformer ground i want to know it is safe or not ?
