Its DC. because it attracts. AC gives you a shock but repels because of alternating polarity.

DC is more dangerous than AC because AC change its direction many time in a sec. while DC does not.
In AC man got slight shock but secure while in DC man die at once when touch it.

It depends upon the frequency of the AC. By Murphy's Law the mains frequency is the worst one for muscle contraction. You touch the wire and your fingers stay clutched.

puneet bansal,
This argument has been raging since the days when Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse were competing for lighting contracts. If you search the web, you can find statements either way. However, most of the claims are unsubstantiated opinion. The two most authoritative articles that I have found can be found at the following sites:
.
http://www.pfeiffereng.com/Principals of Electrical Grounding.pdf
http://pchem.scs.uiuc.edu/pchemlab/electric.htm
.
The first article has a table showing the following levels:
. Perception
. "Cant let go"
. Atrial fibrillation
Take a look.
The conclusion of both articles is that AC is more dangerous.

Kral

AC, low frequency AC across the heart will cause a miss beat and kill you.. Across the heart meaning from one hand to the other.

DC continuously repeats itself!

DC is more dangerous than AC. DC is continous so if u ge stck ther are no chances of getting left but if it is an AC u may get left in the variating gaps

yeah but what if you increase the frequency to a very fast level. wouldn't ac act as dc then?

If you increase frequency to high values, the risk os shock comes down due to skin effect. With increasing frequency current tends to flow through the surface. This can happen in KHz range. This property is used in shows where a man holds the ends of a tube light and the tube glows.
