Answer / rakesh bharadwaj

I think its DC guys..
coz AC is sinusiodal it will return to zero at a point so
that one can stay away frm the shock during that instant
but DC dont have return-to-zero value hence cud be more
lethal

Answer / mandar

I think DC is more dangerous than AC only in cases where
the DC voltage is high,as they are the direct current &
does not return to zero.

Answer / 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

Answer / amar 9009936456

i think DC is more danderous than AC becoz AC is
sinusiodal it will return to zero at a point so
that one can stay away frm the shock during that instant
but DC dont have return-to-zero value hence cud be more
lethal & dengerous.

Answer / thomas mathew

Their is no dought the most dangerous current is in DC form
because in AC current in each half cycle their is a null
piont or zero volt for a short time depends upon the
applied voltage but in DC current their is no break in the
applied voltage .

Answer / sahil

I think nobody has done 12th here....
AC increases in its half cycle from 0 to (say) I●..... The value we see is the virtual value of AC but peak value I● is √2 times of the value shown by AC voltmeter....

So,we can say that from AC we will get (approx.) 1.5 times more voltage shock as shown in its virtual value(that we often think is the maximum value)
I think this is higher level answer for those who didn't have done +2 with physics.
Thankyou

Answer / shashidhar

DC is more dangerous than AC because, AC signal is
sinusoidal therefore when it comes to zero state the flow of
current is becoming less. but in DC the flow of current is
always same.

Answer / d kiran kumar

Iam giving a simple answer AC having frequency
(representation).But dc contain zero frequency i.e constant
magnitude representation.Once shock no body can save u.

Answer / satender

ac is more dangerous due to its skin effect.and ac is
attractive while dc is repulsive

Answer / sanuj chopra

AC....BCOZ OF HIGH RMS VALUE AND MORE SKIN BURNING EFFECTS.
