Electrical current is a fascinating and powerful tool. It can be both safe and deadly: the emissions from a Tesla coil, while awe inspiring, pass harmlessly around and through humans; yet, ramp up the current enough, and severe effects can occur.
The major factors that affect a person are: the amount of current, measured in amperes or "amps"; the path the current takes through the body (i.e. through the heart); and the length of time the body is exposed as a circuit.
The voltage, environmental moisture, whether the heart is in a beat or not, and the person's health can also affect the severity of the shock. The following list details effects of current. Note that 1000 milliamperes (mA) equates to 1 ampere (A).
1 mA of current causes a bit of a tingling sensation, but can be dangerous under some conditions.
5mA of current results in a slight painless shock. Strong involuntary reactions can cause injuries to the person.
6-16mA results in a painful shock, and the individual is less likely to have control over their muscles.
17-99mA results in extreme pain, respiratory arrest and strong muscular contractions. Death is quite probable at this point.
100mA-2A results in uneven, uncoordinated pumping of the heart. Nerve damage begins here. Death is highly likely.
At more than 2 amperes, the heart stops, internal organs begin to cook, and sever burns occur. Death is quite probable without immediate medical assistance.

because bleach is deadly.!!
Yes deadly, adictive and disfiguring.
Deadly Premonition happened in 2010.
Deadly Skies was created in 2005.
The duration of Kiss Me Deadly is 1.77 hours.
Go around it. Low voltage fences may be damaged by crossing, and high voltage can be deadly.
Electricity? Plus water? Deadly. Is this really the question you wanted to ask?
A voltage of 460 volts can be deadly if it passes through the human body. It is higher than standard household voltages, increasing the risk of severe electric shock and potential fatalities. It is important to always exercise caution and follow safety protocols when working with or near high voltage systems.
Very Deadly
theyre to cute to be deadly.
no this is not deadly its just a 'phobia' :)
because bleach is deadly.!!
there are not deadly duhhh
They are all deadly.
they are not deadly they are lap dogs
Very deadly.
Deadly Heroes was created in 1993-10.
