It's way more than just voltage or current! It is also time, energy, frequency...

Saying that it's not the voltage that hurts, but the current is like saying I'm going to shoot you in the head with a shotgun, but as long as the bullets heat you very softly, you won't feel a thing. Want to try? How many times do I have to say this: if there is high voltage across your body, there is no way to limit the current and you'll die here. Let's say this: 12 Ohm resistor is a human and I'll put 10 volt across it with no current limit. Let's see what happens.

See the human. Burns.

    Do another video and integrate the equation into the message! 🙏🏼

    "See? The human burns." Then what are you…

    Voltage is how wide the river is..
    Current is how fast its flowing

    Wanna try? 👀

    It's not the voltage, it's the current, true … but the current only flows in response to the voltage (among other things).

    Yeah, lucky that human skin is not 12 Ohm, regardless, from today on I'll watch out for those 9V batteries.

    Well isn’t it really a combination of both. Which would be the watts or maybe the joules.

    Current is the deciding factor but nowhere near the only factor. You could get millions of volts running through you and not get permanently damaged. So long as two other factors are low enough, these are amps obviously but what I did not see mentioned is time. you could survive voltage like that for a few seconds at best with low enough current. However, should the current be in the the wholes or double digits even, it wouldn't do anything to you below 24 volts, maybe a little higher I'm not sure about the volts in this case but now they have to be low enough to not break the insulating barrier of the skin. It's not a strong barrier that's why the voltage needs to be so low.

    To define these things, Voltage is how far current can jump and current defines the charge or at least the amount of it. Veryt very very gross over simplification but it is I would say about
    80% accurate! And as an electrician, I mostly only every use about 20% at the very most of what I know at any given job. If I was building my own projects I would use more than just that 80% and I would define the entire atom's movements as far as I can explain it which to my understanding should be around 90-93% complete. I do not know the complete picture and if I'm to believe what the world shows, no one does! This has been Silva's PSA on the laws of energy transfer to some degree.

    It’s the voltage not the current

    Seeing Electroboom not shock himself in a video is strange

    عالی

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Learn everything says:

    perfect

    the irony, is that having a high voltage is part of how tasers and other electric weapons regulate the current. if a taser didn't have a super high voltage that is able to arc and bridge through nearly anything, the effective resistance of the human body with it's sweat and clothes, would be too volatile to guarantee a reliable safe current.

    Can u pls make a taser watergun🔫⚡️❤

    What about a capacitor? Do I die from a mosquito racket?
