Can being shocked from a 110 wire harm you?

Answer 1

It is not the potential voltage that will kill you it is the current that you conduct when you come into contact with the voltage. The following is the limits that the human body will take. One milliamp is one thousandth of an amp.

Milliamps 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.

Answer 2

Yes, being shocked by a 110-volt wire can harm you. The severity of the harm will depend on factors such as the duration of the shock and the current passing through your body. It is important to seek medical attention if you experience an electric shock.
