I have heard that 'we don't get shock from dc current because it is constant but we get shock from ac current because it is alternating'.Is that true? If it is HIGH VOLTAGE DC CURRENT THEN?
If the amount of current passing through our body breaks the resistance of it then what we feel is called electric shock isn't it? then I think we must get shock from dc current if the amount is considerably high (that means breaks our resistance)
Whoever told you this may be referring to a classroom demonstration where someone is invited to touch a single high voltage terminal (for example in a Van der Graff generator), whilst being carefully insulated from the rest of the planet.
This can safely be done by most people.
However as a general rule it is a very bad idea to touch electric terminals.
When the voltages / currents are low, low frequency AC is more discernible. However, when you go up in voltage, both become jolting and painful.
High frequency AC (i.e. > 1MHz) gets to where you don't notice shock, but you can get severe penetrating burns before you notice something's happening.
though there is debate which one is more dangerous, I think dc is more because ac current will flow through the skin rather than heart due to skin effect
