why electric shock due to dc is dangerous than that of ac

Answer Posted / nbsubrahmanyam

hi friends,

dc is more dangerous than a.c because dc is flow with some
magnetude value and without pulsating( uniform),if come to
a.c ,a.c is flowing with pulsating means current flows in
positive cylce and negative cycle. when ever positive cycle
complete , alternating currrent come to zero value,at that
time no shock will be there,then next current flows
negative cycle
for every cylce of a.c.,a.c comes zero value after
every positive cycle.
but in the case of d.c ,d.c will not have zero
value .
that's D.C more dangerous than A.C
