Why is it safe to touch the electricity-outputting end of our phone and computer chargers with no sort of electric shock on us as opposed to other dangerous electrical outputs?

Question

Exactly as stated in the title. All my life I’ve been able to touch my phone or computer’s electrical charger output (accidentally or for whatever the reason) with no sort of “buzz” or feeling from the electricity going through the output. At least that has always been my experience with it.

Just in case: Don’t intentionally try this of course.

Answer 1

So phones are charged at 5V and between 1~2 A at Direct Current.

Most households received current at 120/240V, 200A at Alternative current.

So the difference is like between taking a 5cm high stream of water in the face at 1-2 km/h

And

Taking alternating 2m tall waves from the left and right, at 200km/h.

You won’t even feel the first one in your sleep, but the second **will** kill you.
