Will 10000 volts kill a human?

Michael S. Morse, a professor of electrical engineering at the University of San Diego, explains that while 10,000 volts can be life threatening in certain circumstances, it’s possible for something to have 10,000 volts behind it and be relatively harmless.

What would happen if you were shocked by 10000 volts?

Offhand it would seem that a shock of 10,000 volts would be more deadly than 100 volts. While any amount of current over 10 milliamps (0.01 amp) is capable of producing painful to severe shock, currents between 100 and 200 mA (0.1 to 0.2 amp) are lethal.

How many volts can a human sustain?

Liu survived more than 70,000 volts despite experts’ earlier warnings that the human body can tolerate a maximum of between 20,000 and 50,000 volts, which might prove to be lethal.
