AC vs. DC: What Actually Happens When You Get Shocked?

from My Weird Prompts

Daniel had a simple model: line voltage kills, low voltage DC doesn't. Then Hannah held a live wire and walked away. This episode separates the physics from the folklore. We break down the actual numbers behind electrocution, why 60Hz AC is uniquely dangerous, and the five variables that determine whether a shock is a tingle or a fatality. Plus, practical safety takeaways for anyone drilling into walls or working near power sources. Episode #567719 — open it directly at myweirdprompts.com/567719
