120 Volt DC Shock?

Question

Can a shock from 120 volts of DC current kill you?

Answer 1

No. There is simply no adequate voltage there to kill. You are 15k ohms in resistance and it takes at least 15ma to kill a weakened person.

It takes much more DC to kill than AC. That's why electric chairs always use AC

Answer 2

depending on the amps. it has been reported that people have died from a shock of 1 amp..... an electric fence charger puts out around 35000 volts with no amps. that is why it will shock the animals but not kill them.

I hope this helps.
