Electric Shocks
The physiological effects of electric shocks.
The effect of an electrical shock on a body is primarly determined by the electric current flowing through the body:
| Electric Current (mA) | Physiological Effect on the Body |
|---|---|
| 1 (AC) 5 (DC) |
Possible to feel |
| 10 (AC) | Moscular contractions "Can't let go" |
| 30 (AC) 300 - 500 (DC) |
Ventricular fibrillation and cardiac arrest |
- AC - Alternating Current
- DC - Direct Current
