AC voltage is more dangerous than DC voltage

AC has high voltage when compared with DC .Due to High Voltage AC is more dangerous than DC

One of the reasons that AC might be considered more dangerous is that it arguably has more ways of getting into your body. Since the voltage alternates, it can cause current to enter and exit your body even without a closed loop, since your body (and what ground it's attached to) has capacitance. DC cannot do that. Also, AC is quite easily stepped up to higher voltages using transformers, while with DC that requires some relatively elaborate electronics. Finally, while your skin has a fairly high resistance to protect you, and the air is also a terrific insulator as long as you're not touching any wires, sometimes the inductance of AC transformers can cause high-voltage sparks that break down the air and I imagine can get through your skin a bit as well.

of course DC is more dangerous and harmful

DC more dangrouse than AC  in term of shocked and hazard . the reson is that DC is a direct curent with zero frequency while ac switch on and off 50 times per secodnd giving the victim more chance to skeep the electrical shocked .h

Direct current (DC) is more dangours as compare to Alternating current (AC) beacause in DC current there is no frequency or zero frequency  but in AC there is frequency 50 Hertz means 50 Cycles per second. It means in AC, current changes direction or polarity 100 times in one second. or you can understand in easy word it will ON & OFF 50 times in one second.

DC's are 10x dangerous...just google it
