AC=Alternating current.Wich do you think in most harmful?
.Do some research.

PS it does take voltage hand in hand with a more or less resistive path to create current. All this "its amps not volts" stuff is utter bullshit; it is all interconnected and inseperable just like you have to have **** AND ***** to be a man. Volts is the pressure in the garden hose, current is the hose diameter, and its the wierdest garden hose ever because depending on resistance pressure and diameter are all over the place like a Salvador Dali painting - one that you can place over a piece of graph paper, or plug into a formula.
