Force of Electricity Teachings by Dr C F Chandler
Dr C F Chandler corrected a common misapprehension about electrical danger. He explained that 1000 volts alone cannot kill a humming bird, while 100,000 volt sparks cause only a slight burn without amperage. Real danger comes from high current when touching a charged wire, as intense current rapidly disrupts bodily functions and can be fatal.
