Question

Can DC voltage kill you?


Open in App
Solution

Explanation:

The current that can pass through the body depends on the voltage.

Since 30 volts are generally considered to be a conservative threshold value for dangerous voltage. The cautious person should regard any voltage above 30 volts as threatening, not relying on normal body resistance for protection against shock.

Therefore high voltage is much more dangerous than low voltage.

Hence, DC voltage can kill if the voltage is very high.
