Default 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.

You should take some electrical classes or get an electronics kit.

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.

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.

A friend of mine said he did that once. He said it hurt so bad it
made him sick.

Mythbusters tried that. No shock.

You can barely feel a volt, even directly on your tongue. You can sure
feel an amp.
