How does volt feel ? How does ampere feel ?
Hello,
I saw somebody mention on a webforum that volt and empere feels differently... I am not sure if he joking/making it up... or if it's really possible to feel a difference between ampere and volts ?!? So far I have had two experiences with electricity which come to mind: 1. Touching the inner metal tracks of a lego-locomotive that used 12 volts probably... this felt like a current running through my arms. 2. Static electricity (?) discharge in supermarkt... (plastic summer shoes rubbing against floor hallway in flat) huge short pain going through arm... pretty much same thing but much more violent and doesn't shake or vibrate but feels more like a bang in the arm. So what do you guys think is there a different feel to volts vs ampere ? Bye, Skybuck. |

To answer your question, all you feel are the amps. The Volts just push them faster. Birds on transmission lines feel nothing even though they are charged with thousands of volts. |

Most volts will tell you that they are feeling fine while most amperes rarely feel well, they are more often seen at clinics. Wilby |

Wilby Volts will offer resistance to current treatments, however amps will usually be discharged without any problems. |

Put stripped electrical cord wires in mouth; add salt or mustard to taste; make sure it is plugged in and power is on. |

As a early teenager I watched a friend pee on an electric fence surrounding a horse ranch. I warned him but he laughed ... for a few seconds ... and then I got to laugh. Wilby |

You can sure feel an amp. John |
