Hi,
So it takes power, and probably energy, i.e. power times time to do
work and
certainly to kill someone.
Think about lightning. Lightning has millions (10^6) of amperes of current, several millions of volts of voltage, (sometimes measuring 650 Coulumbs of charge) ... still there are quite a lot of people who turn up alive even after being hit by lightning. I think that is becoz of the fraction of a second the charge passes through the body of the person.
regds, Aditya
