What voltage and amps are and why high volts may not kill you but high amps will
In: 16
volts are the potential variation from open to closed circuit and amps are the quantity of flowing charge, think of volts like frequencies of the EM spectrum, low frequency radio is stopped by metal panels but can get some passthrough of some metallic -ish at infrared to microwave size, high volts are like x rays and will pass through most materials or electrically speaking bridge a circuit closed or shorted to ground regardless of electrical engineering properties at least regarding insulation/resistance, and think of amps as the intensity of those frequencies.
