why are some people unaffected by electricity ?

Question

Why some humans can permit high volts of electricity through their bodies without getting electrocuted?

Answer 1

Voltage doesn't really matter. This is the only reason people can survive lightening strikes.

Its the Amperage (amps) behind the volts that ultimately decide whether your insides are cooked or not.

Answer 2

they don't have a magnetic personality .. lol..just kidding.. but I have been jolted by over 10000 volts a couple of times playing with a high voltage transformer..Actually it really depends on how much voltage and how its applied..Alot of people have been hit with over a million volts or alot more with lightning..it usually goes in one place and exits out your feet or shoe..but actually high voltage can be less deadly than low voltage..For some reason low voltage will grab you and its harder to get away from and high voltage is almost like a slap.I have been also hit not directly but indirectly with lightning and it knocked me across a room..It really depends on how its applied .Im sure there will be more people that have more knowledge answer you but I don't think that anyone is immune from it unless they are protected with some shield of sorts..non conductive..material

Answer 3

Voltage doesnt run through you - current does. A high voltage does not mean you'll have a high current level running through you. Look at a Van de Graf generator (that silver sphere thing that you touch and it makes your hair stick up). That has some serious voltage but does you no harm.

No sir, it is current you have to worry about.

Answer 4

You are wrong, everyone reacts to electricity, it will kill you if the jolt is strong enough.

Answer 5

How long have you been on drugs or are you just naturaly stupid ?

Answer 6

I think it's usually cos they are dead!
