What happens at currents of 10,000 milliamps?

At currents of 10,000 milliamps, severe burns and cardiac arrest can occur due to the significant electrical energy that passes through the body. At this level of current, the human body experiences a profound physiological response.

The heart is particularly vulnerable to electrical currents, as they can disrupt its normal rhythm, leading to arrhythmias or outright cardiac arrest. The electrical burns result from the resistance of body tissues to current flow, generating heat that can cause severe tissue damage, including third-degree burns, which penetrate deeply into the skin and underlying tissues.

Understanding the effects of electrical current on the body is crucial for safety in environments where exposure to electrical hazards is possible. This highlights the importance of following safety protocols and using protective equipment to prevent such dangerous situations.
