Question

Why is voltage considered the cause of an electric shock and current as the effect?

Answer 1

Answer:

In summary it is the current that flows through the body that causes the electric shock but it is the voltage level and the electrical path's resistance that determines how much current flows. ... Low voltage is less dangerous yet it is the current flow in a body that kills (the higher the current the deadlier it is)

Answer 2

ANSWER

The shock is the product of the current and the voltage, so in principle you need both. A friction spark from your shoe is high voltage by low ampage, but a shock from a power main is high ampage and comparatively low voltage.
