This question has been asked by many people who have experienced an
electric shock before.I recently received an electric shock from the
domestic household current of 10A.The feeling was ecstatic. Many will come
across large AC currents, but have you ever thought of DC Electrification?
This would sound weird because DC current available in domestic premises

Dangers of Electric Shock



The severity of injury from electrical shock depends on the amount of electrical 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. The amount of internal current a person can withstand and still be able to control the muscles of the arm and hand can be less
