It is the amperage that will kill you. In fact the amperage range is in the milliamps (one thousandths of an amp) that are dangerous.
Less than 1/2 milliamp no sensation
1/2 to 2 milliamps Threshold of perception
2 to 10 milliamps muscular contraction
5 to 25 milliamps painful shock (may not be able to let go)
Over 25 milliamps Could be violent muscular contraction
50 to 100 milliamps Ventricular fibrillation
over 100 paralysis of breathing.

∙ 10y agoThe following list is the tolerances that the body can stand. One milliamp is equal to 1/1000 th of an amp.
Less than 1/2 milliamp no sensation
1/2 to 2 milliamps threshold of perception
2 to 10 milliamps muscular contraction
5 to 25 milliamps painful shock (may not be able to let go)
Over 25 milliamps Could be violent muscular contraction
50 to 100 milliamps Ventricular fibrillation
over 100 paralysis of breathing.

How many volts of electricity would it take to kill a cat?
Voltage doesn't actually kill, it is the amperage that kills.
What is the relation between amperage and capacitance?
The relation between amperage and capacitance is that amperage is equals to capacitance times the rate of voltage change over time. This voltage refers to instantaneous voltage.
What does volts times amperage equal?
Voltage is equal to amperage time resistance. V=IR Therefore, I'd say voltage times amperage is equal to amperage squared times resistance. VI=IIR Really there's no point in multiplying the two. However, if you were to divide voltage by amperage, you would have the resistance of the circuit. V/I=R
How many volts of electricity is needed to kill a mouse?
It is not the voltage it is the amperage that kills.
How do you measure electricity and with what measurement?
With kitchen tongs. A mild tingling indicates low voltage/low amperage. Muscular spasms indicate high voltage/low amperage. Unconsciousness sans death indicates low voltage/moderate amperage. Death indicates high amperage. Good luck.
Will a double AA battery's voltage kill a human?
No. Voltage doesn't kill you, amperage does, and the amperage produced by a AA battery is not even enough to cause a tingle. Amperage AND voltage kills. Should also include frequency in that equation. 120 v/ 10 amps of 400 hertz kills faster than 60 hz. Amps with low voltage will do no harm. You need both to kill. One AA battery would not kill you but put together enough of them? Why not?
How many volts of electricity would it take to kill a cat?
Voltage doesn't actually kill, it is the amperage that kills.
When a circuit is inductive the current has what voltage?
This doesn't make sense, "current" is "amperage" so the higher the voltage the lower the amperage, and the lower the voltage the higher the amperage.
What is the relation between amperage and capacitance?
The relation between amperage and capacitance is that amperage is equals to capacitance times the rate of voltage change over time. This voltage refers to instantaneous voltage.

When voltage increase then current will be?
it depends on what type of load. Motor amperage will drop off as voltage rises. loads such as lights will increase amperage with voltage rise.
Will a motorized wheelchair battery power an electric bicycle?
Depends on the voltage and amperage of the battery vs. the voltage and amperage required of the bicycle.

It is not the voltage it is the amperage that kills.
How do you measure voltage using a ammeter?
An ammeter measures amperage not voltage.
How do you measure electricity and with what measurement?
With kitchen tongs. A mild tingling indicates low voltage/low amperage. Muscular spasms indicate high voltage/low amperage. Unconsciousness sans death indicates low voltage/moderate amperage. Death indicates high amperage. Good luck.
What will happen too amperage if voltage is increased and resistance remains the same?
Ohms Law says Voltage = Current x Resistance. Hence if voltage rises, so will current.
What is circuit amperage?
Generally speaking an appliance (eg tv) is supplied with power so when it is off it has voltage supplied. After yo turn it on it starts to draw power called amperage the voltage doesn't get higheur but the amperage does Amperage is the load being drawn through a circiut
