#TRICK QUESTION; fatal amperage is dependent on the number of volts

Sometimes you sit down to write and instead give yourself a crash course on electricity physics, and you know the worst part?? All of it is fake.
#you know how many volts it takes to kill someone?#trick question; it’s the amps that kill#so you know how many amps it takes to kill someone?#TRICK QUESTION; fatal amperage is dependent on the number of volts#so surely the correct question is ‘what combination of volts and amps is most likely to be fatal?’#but the product of those two measurements is called ‘watts’ and is irrelevant#so instead you can divide ‘em and figure out the resistance of whatever you’re electrocuting in Ohms#I just want. like. a chart. a simple singular equation.#‘Y volts at X amps is likely safe in ideal circumstances’ ‘X volts at Y amps would likely be fatal’#please. someone make it make sense.
