Which is more dangerous AC current or DC current and why?

Answer Posted / shivdayal vishwakarma

AC is more dangerous, since its nature is attractive. at every sinusoidal reversal your body potential is reversed, thats why it is attractive. in case of DC source, its creates a capicitive effect, once your body is charged with DC potential then its repell the body from source.
also for same potential difference, lethality current range for DC is higher. it means you required higher current than AC to get shock in case of DC.generally 60 mA of AC (rms, 60 Hz) and 300–500 mA of DC can cause shock to human.I THINK THIS DISCUSSION IS SUFFICIENT
