Understanding Shock Severity from Electrical Devices

The severity of electrical shocks from devices like light bulbs and electric motors is not solely determined by the voltage supplied. Despite being connected to the same voltage supply, the shock from a high-power appliance like an electric motor may be more hazardous than from a low-power device like a light bulb. The underlying factors that contribute to the differing levels of danger are not clearly understood.
