What kind of electrical shock is experienced at an amperage of 1 mA?

A shock experienced at an amperage of 1 mA (milliampere) is classified as a slight shock. At this low level of current, the physiological effects on the human body are minimal, often described as just a tingling sensation that is not painful and does not typically cause any injury. In general, current levels below 1 mA are considered safe and usually do not lead to any harmful effects. This contrasts with higher levels of current, which can lead to moderate to severe shocks or even fatal consequences. Understanding this helps in assessing electrical safety and the precautions necessary when working with electrical systems.
