Why is the electric shock from the DC supply is more
dangerous than the shock from AC supply.

Answer Posted / shivam

according to me...in ac , the wave is sinusoidal. the wave
goes to zero twice in one cycle. The person who got shock,
thus can be put away from the supply,,,,but in case of a dc
suppl,,, the supply is direct means wave is a straight
line, and doesnot go to zero anyhow.....thus dc is more
dangerous than ac
