You should look at some of the possible effects of electrical current on the human body. The following table lists some of the probable effects of electrical current on the human body.
AC 60 Hz (mA) ------------- DC (mA) --------------- Effects
0-1 ..................................... 0-4 ............................. Perception
1-4 ..................................... 4-15 ........................... Surprise
4-21 ................................... 15-80 .......................... Reflex action
21-40 .................................. 80-160 ....................... Muscular inhibition
40-100 ............................... 160-300 ....................... Respiratory failure
Over 100 ............................. Over 300 ..................... Usually fatal
Note in the above chart that a current as low as 4 mA can be expected to cause a reflex action in the victim, usually causing the victim to jump away from the wire or other component supplying the current. While the current should produce nothing more than a tingle of the skin, the quick action of trying to get away from the source of this irritation could produce other effects such as broken limbs or even death if a severe enough blow was received at a vital spot by the shock victim.
It is important for you to recognize that the resistance of the human body cannot be relied upon to prevent a fatal shock from a voltage as low as 115 volts or even less. Fatalities caused by human contact with 30 volts have been recorded. Tests have shown that body resistance under unfavorable conditions may be as low as 300 ohms, and possibly as low as 100 ohms from temple to temple if the skin is broken. Generally direct current is not considered as dangerous as an equal value of alternating current. This is evidenced by the fact that reasonably safe "let-go currents" for 60 hertz, alternating current, are 9.0 milliamperes for men and 6.0 milliamperes for women, while the corresponding values for direct current are 62.0 milliamperes for men and 41.0 milliamperes for women. Remember, the above table is a fist of probable effects. The actual severity of effects will depend on such things as the physical condition of the work area, the physiological condition and resistance of the body, and the area of the body through which the current flows.

iba iba effect niyan sa ibat ibang tao! 100mA to me is nothing. nasanay na po!

hahaha!
Me too...
During my college years everytime we had an experiment and uses a variac, we always played with it hehehe.
Electrifying ourselves and see up to what voltage and current can we last.
Yeah it depends.
A human body doesnt have a fixed resistance to electrical current.
It varies...
Yung iba nga dyan kalabit lang ng babae (seducing) nakukuryente na.

Hahaha!
Loko kayo ah!
Katuwa balikan yung mga kalokohan nung college.
*mingling* naaalala ko yung hmmmm
oooppss boys stuff hehehe
Ayus mga nursing na tsiks hehehe.
Very caring, passionate and loving and ........tuuut
Lam mo ba yun?
They say Nursing students are for engineers like us hehehe

my classmates naman are hinahabol ng chicks. nursing kasi sa amin serious sa aral to maintain scholarship.
though may gf na sila, may iba pang kasama sa private parties namin.
you could say i am one of the boys. sa work din puro boys kasama ko at naranasan ko na sumama sa tagayan! dahil nature ko na suplada, wala makalapit sa akin! and being born and bred in manila (manila girl ito chong!) help a lot!

Oh really?
Wow that's nice!
Masarap ka pala kasama.
Gimik naman tayo!
I like your attitude girl!
Yeah dapat cowboy, este sheriff and dapat palaban.

since naka $4 kana sa adsense libre naman diyan!
ang babaw mo talaga...$4 lang saya mo na. my friend told me last month google paid him $100 dahil may site siya na marami visitors.
did i tell you na may boyfriend ako?

mr_right14 said on Oct 06, 2006....
Hahaha come on!
I earned it only here in SoulCast for a period of one month.
The other sites were not yet included.
If I constantly earn $4 per month on each site then it'll only take 2 or 3 months and I'll earn $100 hehehe.

you know what, i do not have an adsense account. wala pa ako site eh. can i use this blog site ba? matagal pa bago ko mailaunch yun webpage gawa ko. no time eh!

mr_right14 said on Oct 07, 2006....
Wow!
I don't much believe on AdSense co'z I haven't received a check yet.
It's just a trial but if it works, I'll continue blogging and create more websites.
If not, then I'll just delete those ads and work on my sites.
