dangerous than the shock from AC supply.

Answer Posted / touqheed

DC current is dangerous because , if we observe the graphical representatio of AC current and DC current flow then we can undrestand the flow of AC comes twice to zero in one cycle but where as in AC it will be regular of constant it doesn't cross the position of zero hence probability to escape from high voltage DC shock is ... 5%.
