The only easy day was yesterday
I'm an EE student (although early in the curriculum) and is there a reason that it is always voltage being described when people talk about power lines and etc and not current? I have a hard time putting a "danger value" on a piece of equipment or whatever without both a current and a voltage, but that may be something I haven't been exposed to yet?

Obviously if something is 400kv, it is not going to have an absolutely tiny current running through it, but I'm still curious.
