can 1 million volts kill you?
308723
Volts mean nothing without current. But say you have 1 million of any type of electricity (not including amps), and amount of electricity won't kill you… but the electricity (1m) will fry you up into black crisps! Amps is what kills you. It only takes 0.1 - 0.2 to become lethal.

So volts are equal to 1000 times kilowatts divided by amps.

So a cow can be killed with just 18 volts, an elephant probably with as little as 8 volts, a human with 40 and a rat probably with more than 100 volts.

Apparent Power Fundemantally one kVA is equal to 1,000 volt amps.

Individuals have been electrocuted by appliances using ordinary house currents of 110 volts and by electrical apparatus in industry using as little as 42 volts direct current. The real measure of shock's intensity lies in the amount of current (amperes) forced though the body, and not the voltage.

An electrical current at 1,000 volts is no more deadly than a current at 100 volts, but tiny changes in amperage can mean the difference between life and death when a person receives an electrical shock.

What are the volts of electricity in your human body?! The body's total voltage from 70 trillion volts down to a more accurate value of 3.5 trillion volts! The calculation is based on the following: The average “membrane potential” for a cell is 70 millivolts OR .

The voltage involved in a typical defibrillator runs from around 140 to upward of 1000 volts, and the amperage is dependent on the impedence of the patient's mass being jolted with so many Joules.

NO, , but it can easily cause a fire if short circuited. any voltage under 50 volts is considered safe to touch voltage.

12V*500mA can produce 6w of power enough to kill if it passed trhough your heart, but your body has enough resistance to avoid that happens with little volt. You would really have to work very hard to be electrocuted with 12 volts.

The chance of a lithium-ion battery (used in most vapes) exploding is roughly 1 in a million. The chance of a vape actually blowing up in your hand is about 0.0000001%. The chance of you dying as a direct result of smoking is 33.3%.

In a wall socket (120V AC), current may travel through any path though your body to ground. For example if you touch the hot side with your right hand and your left foot has the best ground, current could travel across your heart and possibly kill you.

Defined in these scientific terms, 1 volt is equal to 1 joule of electric potential energy per (divided by) 1 coulomb of charge. Thus, a 9-volt battery releases 9 joules of energy for every coulomb of charge moved through a circuit.

A police taser typically peaks at 50,000 volts, and by the time it reaches your skin it's only around 1,200 volts... Not even close to a million volts.

A full-grown electric eel can generate about 600 volts of electricity. ... Although there are few documented instances of people dying from an electric eel's shock, it could happen. A single jolt could incapacitate a person long enough to cause him or her to drown, even in shallow water.

Human deaths from electric eels are extremely rare. However, multiple shocks can cause respiratory or heart failure, and people have been known to drown in shallow water after a stunning jolt.
