Why you don't get shock with dc?

Direct current (DC) can still cause shock, but it is generally perceived as less dangerous than alternating current (AC) at certain voltages. This is because DC maintains a constant voltage, resulting in a steady flow of electricity that can be easier for the body to tolerate. However, at higher voltages, DC can still be lethal, as it can cause muscle contractions that may prevent a person from letting go of a live circuit. Thus, while DC may be less likely to cause severe shock in some situations, it is not without risks.
