| it is for evey 10,000 volts electrocty jumps like 1 cm (.33 inches) |

| Even with 1 million volts it is still the current that kills you. Remember that voltage equals current multipled by resistance so assuming that resistance (your body) remains constant pushing up the voltage also pushes up the current. |

| Yep like they say. Voltage plays somewhat a role in pain as well, but amps are what kill you in most cases. Well unless it's like 1,000,000 volts then chances are you're fried. Static electricity is a different story though. 1,000,000 volts is actually a typical shock where you see a blue spark. (or is it higher?) |

| 0-50 milliamps hurts 51-100 milliamps hurts like heck 101-500 milliamps will send ya to the hospital 501+ milliamps will send ya 6 feet under |

A new way to look at things.  That's why 1 amp can kill you, it's screamng aids.  |

| You know for some reason I had never thought of electricity in those terms before. |

| Moving along the wires and "switching partners" with other attoms. Electricity is a real dirty sex story. |

. . . and what is it exactly that these electrons doing?  |
| Red Squirrel - Apr-29-2005 server time |
| One Amp of current is approximately 6,240,000,000,000,000,000 electrons per second. You learn something every day.  |
