High enough voltage is neccessary to induce fatal current. How is this a difficult concept to grasp?
For instance, a typical automobile battery is capable of delivering over 80 Amps at 12 Volts and yet there is no standard label warning of electric shock (and otherwise jumper cables would be...
By that reasoning, a piece of uncharged aluminum foil should be hazardous! Do you have any idea the number of free charge carriers one of those has?!?
The explanation of the technicians death would be quite simple really. Whatever this technician was working on clearly had some sort of...
Yes, I do believe I quoted, acknowledged and credited your mention of sufficient voltage in my last post along with a prior post which stated the same concept in different terms. ;)
Morbius is not entirely wrong. Death from electrical shock usually occurs when sufficient current passes through the torso. This is about 6 mA to 200 mA for 1 to 3 seconds. To acheive that current, as you said, a sufficiently high voltage is needed. The effect is that the heart muscles start...
"Conditions were right" being the operative phrase. Fact is, even when wet, the effective DC resistance of your torso would probably be too high for 6 to 200 mA to pass through with only 9 Volts of EMF.
Got one of those too ;)
The camera might only use 6 volts worth of battery power but it employs a DC-DC voltage converter to step it up to several thousands of volts to use the flash. That's where the shock originates from.
The irony of course being most who will be approved for a $45,000 credit line would consider this too much effort for what amounts to a little over $300 a month.
SWEET! The 128MB SODIMM is $29.99 before a $17.00 rebate for a net price of only $13.00 (and tax on $29.99)!
