Which is responsible for electric shock current or voltage?

It is because of voltage i.e., potential difference between two points. Our body behaves as a conductor and there is potential difference between the source and ground thus we will shock. So you can say it is a combined effect, but current passes from our body due to potential difference so I will go with voltage.

Which is more dangerous current or voltage why?

Higher voltage allows for the production of higher, more dangerous currents. Resistance opposes current, making high resistance a good protective measure against shock. Any voltage above 30 is generally considered to be capable of delivering dangerous shock currents.

Do we get shock from voltage?

Electric shock is the sufficient amount of current flowing through human body which the person could feel. But, this doesn’t mean that shock is not caused by Voltage. Of course, it depends upon voltage which is given by Ohm’s law. You would get a shock, but seriously.

What causes death current or voltage?

The answer is very little. A current of as little as 0.007 amps (7mA) across the heart for three seconds is enough to kill. The human body has an inherent high resistance to electric current, which means without sufficient voltage a dangerous amount of current cannot flow through the body and cause injury or death.

Which is more dangerous amperage or voltage?

An electrical current at 1,000 volts is no more deadly than a current at 100 volts, but tiny changes in amperage can mean the difference between life and death when a person receives an electrical shock. Of the two, amperage is what creates the greatest risk.

Which is stronger volt or amp?

In plain English: volts (V) equals current (I) times resistance (R). So, back to which kills you, the amps or volts. Given your body is a constant resistance, it really is a combination of both. Higher voltage means higher amperage, and thus higher voltage has more potential to kill.

What happens when ampere is high?

A higher voltage than a device is designed for will most likely blow up some components, but amperage is derived from how much current is actually drawn, based on the device’s resistance, so having “too much” is not a problem and will do no harm.
