Voltage or Current. Which is the real killer? Hey guys, This might be the most controversial this or that question after the famous chicken or egg. Lets see it clearly, It is not the high current or high voltage that kills you. Take for eg., a 24V battery can produce much higher current than the wall socket (in the range of 10-15 amps) in our home does. Still it can’t electrocute us if we touch both the terminals. So what it is? Is it the high voltage that kills us. No, it is not for sure. To get clear about this take an example of Van de graaff generator what you might have heard in high schools or in youtube videos. So a large Van de graaff generator can produce 500000 volts or 500kv , but we had seen a stranger touching the sphere with his bare hand. The reason here is the over all rated output current generated in Van de graaff is in th...
