It is the amperage that will kill you. In fact the amperage range is in the milliamps (one thousandths of an amp) that are dangerous.
Less than 1/2 milliamp no sensation
1/2 to 2 milliamps Threshold of perception
2 to 10 milliamps muscular contraction
5 to 25 milliamps painful shock (may not be able to let go)
Over 25 milliamps Could be violent muscular contraction
50 to 100 milliamps Ventricular fibrillation
over 100 paralysis of breathing.
Amperage and voltage can be dangerous if they exceed safe levels for a particular device or circuit. Excessive amperage can cause overheating and damage to electrical components, while high voltage can lead to electric shock and electrical fires. Proper circuit protection devices, such as fuses and circuit breakers, are used to prevent excessive amperage and voltage from causing harm.
The following list is the tolerances that the body can stand. One milliamp is equal to 1/1000 th of an amp.
Less than 1/2 milliamp no sensation
1/2 to 2 milliamps threshold of perception
2 to 10 milliamps muscular contraction
5 to 25 milliamps painful shock (may not be able to let go)
Over 25 milliamps Could be violent muscular contraction
50 to 100 milliamps Ventricular fibrillation
over 100 paralysis of breathing.

What does volts times amperage equal?
Voltage is equal to amperage time resistance. V=IR Therefore, I'd say voltage times amperage is equal to amperage squared times resistance. VI=IIR Really there's no point in multiplying the two. However, if you were to divide voltage by amperage, you would have the resistance of the circuit. V/I=R
How many amps is 2kw?
To calculate the amperage for 2kW, you need to know the voltage of the circuit. For example, if the voltage is 120V, then the amperage would be 16.67A (2000W / 120V = 16.67A). If the voltage is 240V, then the amperage would be 8.33A (2000W / 240V = 8.33A).
Does The higher the amperage equal more electrical power?
Not necessarily. Amperage (current) is just one component of electrical power. Power is the product of voltage and current. To calculate power, you need both voltage and amperage.
Ow do you calculate amperage with watts and volts?
You can calculate amperage (A) using the formula A = W / V, where W is the power in watts and V is the voltage. Simply divide the power in watts by the voltage to find the amperage.
How many amps are in 2000 watts?
To calculate the amperage, you would need to know the voltage of the system. If you assume a standard voltage of 120V, you can calculate the amperage by dividing the wattage by the voltage: 2000 watts / 120 volts = 16.67 amps.
Will a double AA battery's voltage kill a human?
No. Voltage doesn't kill you, amperage does, and the amperage produced by a AA battery is not even enough to cause a tingle. Amperage AND voltage kills. Should also include frequency in that equation. 120 v/ 10 amps of 400 hertz kills faster than 60 hz. Amps with low voltage will do no harm. You need both to kill. One AA battery would not kill you but put together enough of them? Why not?
When a circuit is inductive the current has what voltage?
This doesn't make sense, "current" is "amperage" so the higher the voltage the lower the amperage, and the lower the voltage the higher the amperage.
When voltage increase then current will be?
it depends on what type of load. Motor amperage will drop off as voltage rises. loads such as lights will increase amperage with voltage rise.
Will a motorized wheelchair battery power an electric bicycle?
Depends on the voltage and amperage of the battery vs. the voltage and amperage required of the bicycle.
What does volts times amperage equal?

How do you measure voltage using a ammeter?
An ammeter measures amperage not voltage.
What will happen too amperage if voltage is increased and resistance remains the same?
Ohms Law says Voltage = Current x Resistance. Hence if voltage rises, so will current.
How many amps is 2kw?

What is circuit amperage?
Generally speaking an appliance (eg tv) is supplied with power so when it is off it has voltage supplied. After yo turn it on it starts to draw power called amperage the voltage doesn't get higheur but the amperage does Amperage is the load being drawn through a circiut
What is the difference between the working voltage and test proof voltage for dielectric footwear?
Working Voltage is the voltage at which the boot is safe at. Test Proof voltage is what the boot was tested up to before it failed. However you must keep in mind that if you are in wet conditions that can significantly lower the rating of the boot. Also voltage does not kill you it is the amperage.
