How many volts of energy can a human body survive?

A person can tolerate tens or hundreds of thousands of volts under very low current conditions with very little discomfort; pictures of kids holding the big globe of a van de Graaf generator while their hair stands on end are evidence of this.

This is because under these circumstances, there is very little available charge, which means that there is very little current flowing through the body and no tissue damage occurs.

However, there can be serious harm to tissue and organs when there is a large supply of charge available, which allows for larger currents to flow through the body.

As this paper shows, ventricular fibrillation can occur from as little as 0.030 amp, while involuntary muscle spasms can occur from as little as 0.01 amp!

A human body can typically survive exposure to electrical currents ranging from 50 to 100 volts, depending on factors such as the duration of exposure, the pathway of the current through the body, and individual physiological differences. However, voltages higher than 100 volts can cause serious injuries or even death.
