reek v. Old English recan (Anglian), reocan (West Saxon) emit smoke, from Proto-Germanic *reukanan (cf. Old Frisian reka smoke, Middle Dutch roken, Dutch rieken to smoke, Old High German riohhan to smoke, steam, German rauchen to smoke, riechen to smell).
Ohm's law states that the current drawn depends on the resistance of the body. The resistance of human skin varies from person to person and fluctuates between different times of day. The NIOSH states Under dry conditions, the resistance offered by the human body may be as high as 100,000 Ohms. Wet or broken skin may drop the body's resistance to 1,000 Ohms, adding that high-voltage electrical energy quickly breaks down human skin, reducing the human body's resistance to 500 Ohms.
With all of this in mind, your question asks what is the lowest amount of volts that can kill you. Because resistance of each persons body is different, the amount of current produced from a voltage source will differ depending on who is touching it, and how they are exposed to it.urrent is roughly equivalent to Voltage divided by resistance. Meaning the higher resistance is, the lower the current which is harmful product. Your house (in the United States) provides 110-117VAC at 60 Hz to all of your outlets. What you need to look at here is the 60 Hz.
