Some victims are tortured near electricity, but did not die. How come?

Electricity kills, right? But how come near is an electrical torture that can be done without butchery the victims? What kills you is not the voltage but the amperes. Current (amps) = Voltage / Resistance. This is ohms decree. 10mAmps causes muscular spasms. 30mAmps cause respiratory failure. 75 cause ventricular fibrilation that is the ineffective pumping of the heart. Until this point, the heart can gain spinal column its normal rythym if a defilibrator is used. beyond 4amps, the heart stops functioning and beyond 5 amps, tissue surrounded by the body starts to burn.
Electricity causes your muscles to spasm which can be extremely tight, but if you don't run the current across your chest, low currents probably won't be fatal. Electricity generally does you in by cause the electrical system that makes the heart play the drums to short circuit. An example of a shock you can survive is that from a deflibralator. That can jump start your heart if it isn't spanking properly. It can also kill you if your heart be working correctly to begin next to.
lower or higher currency i am guessing.
Do you die when someone puts a tazer gun to your chest? no, it's dependent on the voltage of the current and where on earth the currents placed.
