Hey,
If your body is a at a constant resistance (say 2kohm), I figure that as the voltage of the train track (for example) goes up, say from 10v to 500v, that the current gets higher and higher with voltage and that is what kills you.
Is this always the case? Where current flow through your body is proportional to increasing voltage of whatever you touch and complete a circuit with. I thought I heard my professor say today that you could still get shocked with a high voltage but that it would be less dangerous than if you had a lower voltage at a higher current, how would this be possible. Thanks.
