How Many Volts does It Take to Kill a Person?

Answer

The volts is not what will kills you. It is the current transfered, the amount of electricity transfered. Lethal current is about 20 milliamperes. So you could have a million volts, but only say a 0.00001 milliamperes and it wouldn't kill you. On the other hand you might have 20v at 1 ampere which would kill you.
