How much ac or dc voltage can kill a man?

In: Electrical Engineering [Edit categories]

Answer:

It is the path of the electric current through the body that will kill, not exactly the voltage. If the electricity go through the heart, it will have a higher chance of killing that person. Generally 100-300 voltage can shock the heart to defrillation. Higher voltage will probably stop the heart, and the heart could be burnt from the high voltage too. If the body is NOT earthed, the body could probably survive.
