In your question .2 amps is equal to 200 mA
Milliamp 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.

What happens if you touch an exposed electrical wire?
If the wire is carrying an electrical current, and if the current has enough voltage, the current can leave the wire and pass through your body. This is painful, and can causes burns or death.
What do you mean by eddy current loss?
Eddy currents are currents induced in conductors to oppose the change in flux that generated them. It is caused when a conductor is exposed to a changing magnetic field due to relative motion of the field source and conductor, or due to variations of the field with time. This can cause a circulating flow of electrons, or a current, within the body of the conductor. These circulating eddies of current create induced magnetic fields that oppose the change of the original magnetic field due to Lenz's law, causing repulsive or drag forces between the conductor and the magnet. The stronger the applied magnetic field, or the greater the electrical conductivity of the conductor, or the faster the field that the conductor is exposed to changes, then the greater the currents that are developed and the greater the opposing field.
What part of the human body has the highest resistance to electrical current?
The Skin
How the severity of an electric shock depends on the current and voltage?
he severity of injury from electrical shock depends on the amount of electrical amperage (current) and the length of time the current passes through the body For example, 1/10 of an ampere (amp) of electricity going through the body for just 2 seconds is enough to cause death.
Is it true that volts jolt but current kills?
Yes it is true that volts jolt but current kills. Current can kill you if it is high enough, and if it goes through your heart then it will most definitely kill you. Only a small amount of current is capable of killing some one. If the voltage is high enough it can send the current through your body and to your heart.
What effect would a current of greater than 0.2 have on your body?
it can be very dangerous, causing burns or even stopping your heart
What has a greater effect on a species mutation in body cells or sex cells?
Question not clear.
Why D.C. current is not passed from our body?
Lightning is a DC current and it will pass through your body with devastating effect. Defibrillators use a DC current to restart/reset your heart if it has stopped or gone into fibrillation. So DC current is passed through your body.
What is synergistic reaction?
dorAn interaction between two or more individual compounds that produces an effect upon the body (or an organism)GREATER than either of the substances alone would have produced.
What effect would impurity of aspirin have on the body if product were intended for human consumption?
What is the effect of impurity of aspirin in humans body
Does liquid flow down the drain counter clockwise south of the equator?
No. Large weather systems are affected by which hemisphere they are in, but your body would have a greater effect on the drain circulation than anything else.
What body part does patellar tendonitis effect?
That would be the knee.
What vitamin would Mark have in greater amounts in his body after that day?
poopy vitamins
What would be the effect on satellites now in orbit if the earth were to stop rotating?
The rotation of either body has no effect on a pair that are in mutual gravitational orbit. It would have effect at all.
How do gravity and air resistance affect a falling body?
Well gravity would pull the body to the ground. The greater the surface area of the body the more air resistance there would be.
What has a greater impact on gravity's strengths mass or distance?
Distance. This is because the gravitational field strength, g, is given by the equation: g = GM/R2 where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the body and r is the distance from the centre of the body to the point where g is to be determined. Since the distance is squared, its effect would be 'doubled' ; Hence, it has a greater impact on gravity.
What is the lowest level of current that the human body would be aware of?
50to80ma
