Nerve damage and death are likely if the body receives a current of what range in milliamps?

The correct range of 1,000 to 4,300 milliamps is associated with severe physiological effects, including nerve damage and potentially fatal outcomes. When electrical current flows through the body, it can disrupt normal muscle function and neural signaling. At this level of current, the body's systems can become overwhelmed, leading to significant damage to nerves and other tissues.

This increased current level is particularly dangerous because it can cause thermal burns as well as entry and exit burns where the current enters and exits the body. Nerve damage can result in paralysis or loss of sensory functions, while high enough currents can disrupt cardiac rhythms, leading to fatal arrhythmias. Understanding these effects reinforces the importance of electrical safety and awareness of current exposure limits in occupational settings.
