Voltage and Current Impact Chart

Voltage and Current Impact Chart

If you think electricity only kills at high voltages… you’re totally wrong! Electricity doesn’t care about voltage, it only cares about how much current (mA/A) flows through your body and for how long. Even a small shock can turn into a death sentence if you’re stuck for just a few seconds.

This explanation about Electric Current Human Body Impact you’ll know exactly what happens inside your body in every raise in current and duration of electric shock.

1. 1 mA – Barely Felt (Threshold Sensation) 🔵

With 1 mA, you’ll only feel a small tingling like a mosquito bite. This is the lowest level where humans can feel electricity.

✅ Survival Risk: 100% Safe

🔥 Muscle Control: Full Control

⏰ Time Doesn’t Matter

2. 5 mA – Slight Shock (Tingling) 🔵

Now you’ll feel like small electric ants crawling on your skin 🐜⚡. This current won’t hurt you, but it will definitely warn you to back off.

✅ Survival Risk: 100% Safe

🔥 Muscle Control: Full Control

⏰ Time Doesn’t Matter

3. 10 mA – Painful Shock (Strong Tingling) 🟡

At 10 mA, the pain starts kicking in. If the shock lasts for less than 0.5 seconds, you’ll only feel strong tingling. But if you’re trapped for 3-5 seconds, your muscles will cramp, breathing will become difficult, and your whole body will start shaking.

Survival Risk: 100% Safe (if shock lasts less than 3 seconds)

⚠️ Survival Risk: 10% Risk (if shock lasts 5-10 seconds)

🔥 Muscle Control: Full Control (up to 3 seconds), Partial Control (after 3 seconds)

4. 20 mA – Painful Shock + Muscle Contraction 🟠

This is where your body starts to fight back against the electricity. Your hand will automatically clench the wire and you can’t let go by yourself. If the shock continues for 10 seconds, your lungs will freeze, and breathing will become difficult.

✅ Survival Risk: 100% Safe (if shock lasts less than 5 seconds)

⚠️ Survival Risk: 20% Risk (if shock lasts 10-20 seconds)

🔥 Muscle Control: Partial Control (up to 10 seconds), No Control (after 10 seconds)

5. 30 mA – Can’t Let Go + Difficulty Breathing 🔴

Now you’re officially in danger zone! Your hand will lock onto the wire like a magnet. Your chest muscles will freeze, making it hard to breathe. After 20 seconds, you’ll pass out. After 30 seconds, your heart will start beating irregularly (Arrhythmia), and you’ll slowly die without anyone even noticing.

⚠️ Survival Risk: 5-10% Risk (if shock lasts less than 10 seconds)

☠️ Survival Risk: 50% Risk (if shock lasts 20-30 seconds)

❌ Muscle Control: No Control

6. 50 mA – Breathing Stopped 🔴

With 50 mA, your breathing will completely stop in just 5-10 seconds. Your heart will still beat for a few seconds, but your body will slowly die without oxygen. If someone doesn’t rescue you immediately, you’ll be dead within 60 seconds.

☠️ Survival Risk: 50-100% Risk

❌ Muscle Control: No Control

7. 70 mA – Heart Disturbance (Arrhythmia) 🔴

Now your heart starts to beat like a broken drum. This current will mess up your heart rhythm, making it pump irregularly. In just 20-30 seconds, you’ll lose consciousness and stop breathing.

☠️ Survival Risk: 80% Risk

❌ Muscle Control: No Control

8. 100 mA – Instant Heart Fibrillation ☠️

Even if you’re only shocked for 1 second, your heart will start fibrillating (shaking without pumping blood). If you’re shocked for more than 30 seconds, you’re dead — no second chance!

☠️ Survival Risk: 90-100% Risk

❌ Muscle Control: No Control

9. 200 mA – Instant Cardiac Arrest ☠️

At 200 mA, your heart will completely stop within 0.1 second. Even if someone pulls you away instantly, your survival chance is almost zero without CPR + Defibrillator.

☠️ Survival Risk: 99% Risk

❌ Muscle Control: No Control

10. 500 mA – Internal Burns + Death ☠️

With 500 mA, your internal organs will cook from the inside 🔥. Your skin will burn, your muscles will melt, and your organs will get roasted like chicken tandoori 🍗🔥. Death is 100% Guaranteed.

☠️ Survival Risk: 100% Risk

❌ Muscle Control: No Control

11. 1A – Severe Burns + Death ☠️

Your whole body will turn into a burnt statue. You will be dead before you even know what happened.

☠️ Survival Risk: 100% Risk

❌ Muscle Control: No Control

12. 10A – Internal Explosion ☠️

At 10 Amps, your internal organs will explode one by one like crackers inside your body 💥. No one can even recognize your body after this.

☠️ Survival Risk: 100% Risk

❌ Muscle Control: No Control

13. 100A – Body Destruction ☠️

This current will tear your body into pieces like a dynamite explosion 💥🔥. Nothing will remain except small burnt body parts.

☠️ Survival Risk: 100% Risk

❌ Muscle Control: No Control

14. 300A – Instant Explosion (Body Vaporizes) ☠️

This is the final boss level 🔥. Your whole body will vaporize into smoke like magic. Only your shadow will be left on the wall.

☠️ Survival Risk: 100% Risk

❌ Muscle Control: No Control

Disclaimer ⚠️

Electric shock is not a joke, bro! This explanation is only for educational purposes. Even small currents can become deadly if the time duration is long. Survival risk depends on body condition, time of exposure, and first aid response.

If someone gets shocked, never touch them directly — always switch off the power first or use a wooden stick to push them away.

Final Advice 🔥

Electricity doesn’t forgive anyone — not even superheroes! Always use insulated tools and safety gloves when working with wires. Low voltage doesn’t mean safe voltage.

If you’re playing with electricity… you’re not a hero, bro — you’re just writing your own Death Certificate! ☠️
