Can nine volts of electricity kill you?

Question

Simple as that. Can nine volts of electricity kill you.

Answer 1

If you're talking about the battery...then no.

The current (measured in Amperes...not called Amperage, thats a made up word) is the flow of electricity, and it is what causes most deaths. As little as 100 milliamps (found in most electronics) can stop someones heart.
Voltage is the amplitude or magnitude of electricity, no matter how high it is...if its not flowing (0 Amps)..it cannot kill you.

Answer 2

If you're talking about a nine-volt battery, then no. Otherwise they wouldn't be manufactured on such a large scale.
Of course, if you were to do something stupid like implant two electrodes in your heart and send nine volts through them, you'd probably die.
Also, why do you insist on asking the same question three times within ten minutes? Be considerate and keep the board free of clutter, please.

Answer 3

No. Volts don't kill. AMPERAGE kills.

Answer 4

voltage doesn't kill you period... the amperage kills you and you only need .01 amps to kill you and it could be 100,000 volts and it will knock you out but not kill you..

Answer 5

Not from a 9 volt battery, you can stick those on your tongue WHHEEEEEEE!!!!

But consider the amps. . . .

Answer 6

Usually it isn't the voltage, but the current that kills you.

A high-current electrocution will "cook" you.
However, a high-voltage electrocution might stop your heart.

Answer 7

Depends how much amperage there is.

Answer 8

depends on the amps

Answer 9

no, amperage metters
