Does the electrical energy of the lighter hurt people?
The flashover voltage of the lighter can reach 20kV, and the daily electricity consumption is usually 110V, but the high voltage does not mean that the current is high. Usually the voltage duration of the lighter is milliseconds, and the current is so small that it can be ignored, so it is Harmless。 Do you remember that some brat greeting small animals with the lighter's electric lighter?
If you don’t understand, for a intuitive example, the static electricity generated by taking off your sweater in winter can exceed 10kV.
