No. It is amperage that does the damage. See the following list

Keep in mind 1000 milliamps equals 1 amp of current.

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 is the role of power supply?

A computer power supply takes in electricity from it's source, we'll say for example a 120 volt wall outlet and then transforms it into the native 12 volt power usually required by system boards. It also provides other power leads as needed for devices, such as 3.3 volt for smaller devices, controllers and the like, and 5 volt for a CD-rom drive or hard drive? A good power supply also cleans up the power some and takes the brunt of all fluctuations in the source power. Hope this helps!
