There are two forms of electrical current: direct current (DC), which means the current "flows in a constant direction" (Daley, Mallat and McCadams, 2007). Batteries offer a direct and constant flow until the battery begins to weaken. The other is alternating current (AC), which means "the electrical flow that regularly reverses its direction. Each forward-backward motion interval is called a cycle" (Daley, Mallat and McCadams, 2007). The more dangerous is AC, which causes a multitude of injuries while DC typically only affects one part of the body, like a severe muscle contraction (Daley, Mallat and McCadams, 2007).
The term current "signifies the quantity of electricity flowing through a wire. It is measured in units called Amperes" (Aggrawal, 1993). Thus, the more amperes (or Amps as we usually refer to them) there are, the stronger the current. Because one...
