For this type of technical question please? consider posting on my forum for help.
To answer your question, I believe DC is more dangerous than AC. As the term implies Direct Current vs Alternate Current. Really its the Amps that kill you quickly, 1 amp through your heart and its over, doesnt matter if its AC or? DC. But if I could pick id take the AC (preferably 110V). DC would give you the shock all at once and hurts way more. DC power comes from Batteries all vehicles are 12V. AC is household power.110v is your regular plugin. 220V for your stove or dryer.
Great vid Thx!
Excellent? video.
Hi MJ, Im an aspiring handyman? and i really enjoyed your video. It was very helpful and clear. Thank you, i hope to see more videos.
Your videos are amazing. Not just because they are educational (there are a lot of people trying to explain things), But you are explaining things so well, I coundn’t help my self and I had to write about it. I wish my electronics teacher back in the day was so good? as you are, I wouldn’t be watching this now.:-) I dont think there is better way to expaling this matter I enjoy watching them even stuff that i already know. This is example what Internet should be used for. Great Job.
dc supply is more? dangerous
really help full for me thanks? alot
Very informative. ? I have always wanted to learn more about DMM’s. Thank you for taking your time to ensure understanding.
How do you determine what is AC or DC if its not labeled so,? sorry I’m new to this…
I hope you? continue making videos! ? I’ve learned so much from these!
My? pleasure,??? thanks? for? the feedback.
Yes, valid input. I? appreciate the post.
My?? pleasure,??? thanks for? the feedback.

I’m not 100% sure but if it is? straight to ground only a few ohms.
Thank you very much.? This was very informative!
I? mean AC.
