Can You Electrocute Yourself on the Lightning Plug?

[Mliii]

OP is just trying to stir up a bunch of BS. Look at all of his most recent posts.

This ^^^

OP, I hear it makes a wonderful Foley Catheter...

OMG this thread lol. dude...

Sounds like you need to light-en up.

Watts up with that?

Voltage is not what you have to worry about. Amperage is what stops your heart. And 2 amps coming through a Lightning connector is nothing to sneeze at.

2 amps at 5 volts is not dangerous. The voltage also matters.

Have you heard of Ohm's law? You need a far higher Potential Difference (voltage) than 5 volts to cause any significant current to flow through your skin (hint: I = V/R where V=Potential Difference, I = Current and R = Resistance) so voltage certainly does matter.

Thank God we cleared that up.

One more question though. Can I get a paper cut from the box the iPhone comes in?

Try licking the contacts for maximum effect.

Aah, the fun we had as kids...

Yes. You'd better be careful with the SIM removal tool too, you can lose an eye with that thing.

mag safe packs a bit more punch. Reminded me of when I was stripping land line phone wire with my teeth and someone called. Boy that sucked. But I think that is AC.

I did that once. ONCE!

Darn right. The little static electricity shocks you get sometimes are upwards of 100,000 volts. However, the amperage (current) is so small you don't get hurt.

Maybe you weren't around for the shag carpet era?

We don't get the SIM removal tool here in the US due to liability laws

These electricity puns have shocked me into a daze.

 

[AuroraProject]

Naah, it's only 1.21 gigawatts.

 

[pure3d2]

LOL you're kidding right?
