will 5000 volts kill you

by Myron Quitzon Published 3 years ago Updated 2 years ago

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.

What does 5000k volts do to a person?

Simply touching an attacker will deliver a high voltage shock causing loss of balance and muscle control, confusion, and disorientation bringing him to his knees and making him incapable of further aggressive activity.

Can a thousand volts kill you?

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.

Would 10000 volts kill you Jurassic Park?

The electric fences required at least 10,000 volts of voltage to contain the dinosaurs properly, this is an assumption, as mention is made about whether or not direct current or alternating current was used. Also, it should be noted that it is in fact amperage, not voltage, that can lead to death by electrocution.

How many volts is lethal?

Assuming a steady current flow (as opposed to a shock from a capacitor or from static electricity), shocks above 2,700 volts are often fatal, with those above 11,000 volts being usually fatal, though exceptional cases have been noted.
