which is more dangerous A.c or D.C?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Both are dangeruos but DC is more dagerous than AC because
AC is alternating current & flow of sine wave & once a cyle
is zero and maximum for take reference line, but DC is
direct current & not fraction of time period for reference
line and DC flow of state line,so DC is dangerous.

Answer / art
dc is moredangerous than ac.
based on ac sinosoidal wave, alternating current and voltage
has reaches 0 at at each half cycle which is the weak point.
On the other hand DC has straight wave.
One example is the rail way train which uses dc, because it
has strong torque at starting compare to ac.

Answer / amir
Both are dangerous and it mainly depends on the amount of
voltage and current present......but DC is very dangerous
when compared to AC

Answer / ashish
D.c is more dangerous as compare to A.C.
In case of a.c current and voltge change time to time. And
its value become two times equal to zero.
Vi=Vmsin(wt)
Vi is equal to zero after 180 and 360 degree.

Answer / ranjit burnwal
ac is the dangerous one at the same voltage.. most thinks
that ac permits u to go through 0V which give a chance to
relief.. but the human body is effected by the current not
by the voltage.. since an 220AC will deliver a much more
current than the 220DC so it is more dangerous..
few other thinks that ac gives u the chance to take your
hands off the current.. but this is also not right as the
needed reflection time(at least 0.3sec) is much more than an
AC current will provide you..

Answer / shivanna
dc is more dangerous than ac bcoz in ac the voltage nd
current increases maximum nd decreases to zero it will be
varying but in dc does not varies its constant voltage nd
current.

depends on the current because human body is effected by current
