Why alternating current is more dangerous than direct current

 



Which is more dangerous ac or dc??

See ac is current that changes it's direction after evry half turn

If I will ask you a question that

If you have 

220 volt ac supply

And 220 Volt dc supply 

Which is more dangerous?? 

You will answer both are equally dangerous .. 

But sorry ac is more dangerous

see the graph of ac 

220 volt is rms value ,at peak value is more isn't it... 

While in DC if I said 220 it means 220 .. It was the actual voltage of dc

  Direct current has 0 frequency

And you know frequency is the main reason for ac to be more dangerous

You will get shocked many times because of ac because it's frequency is changing many times  current becomes zero and many times current become highest

This will give you many shock

And make ac more dangerous

 

So don't try to touch the ac 

If you touch you cant survive. . . .. Keep exploring.
