which is more dangerous amperage or voltage?

Answer 1

Current

Answer 2

It takes less than 1 amp to kill you, Any voltage that causes muscle contraction can be lethal. The stimulation units used in physical therapy that exercises muscles that are being rehabbed, do so with electrical charges. The pads that are attached to the surface of the skin control the path of the charges. Should these pads be applied improperly the charges created could be lethal. (that's the muscle contraction part), An electrical shock that travels across the heart that reaches 750 MA or .75 amps is generally considered to be lethal 100 percent of the time. With all this said, no where does the discussion of reduced voltage make the shock any less dangerous. The amperage of a circuit is a measurement of how much electricity can flow through it after it has overcome the natural resistance the conductor or path contains. Each human body has it's own resistance level (there are many reasons for this) so a voltage that may not be fatal to me, under the same conditions could be fatal to some one else, but if the voltage no matter what level it is, should reach .75 amps across the chest, electrocution has occurred.
Any perceptible voltage that travels across the heart can cause the heart to loose it's rhythm. This requires an EKG to determine the presence of this condition. Should this be ignored death can occur after the incident has been thought to have passed. When this happens it's generally diagnosed as a heart attack (which it is).
My opinion- Your body determines the amperage of the flow of electricity, You don't get amperage without a voltage. The danger is the presence of a perceptable level of electricity based on it's level of voltage. Without which current can't flow.
Hope this helps to answer your question,

Answer 3

Amperage is more danagerous.
Ultimately the power is what matters which is V X I ie the product of Current and Voltage.
Because to make the current flow, voltage or potential difference is required.

Answer 4

Always amperage. To prove the point if you rub your feet on a carpet on a winter day and you can create a spark that may be 5000-10000 volts, but you won't get hurt by it. By contrast 1/10 of an amp can be fatal if you make yourself a good conductor.

Answer 5

High voltages with even a moderate amount of current can be lethal. It just needs to find the right path to pass through and stop your heart. With sufficient voltage, a couple amps or less could do you in. Conductivity of your skin is also a factor (wet or sweaty skin). It only takes less than one amp of current through the heart muscle to stop your heart. The amount of current passing THROUGH you body is lethal, but usually requires a sufficiently high voltage due to the high body resistance. The
path(s) this current takes is the other factor.
