100,000 volts or 120, these two different measurements of volts(Joules/coulomb) can have a huge effect or no effect at all. A balloon when charged may hold a charge of 100,000 volts, but why doesn't it shock you? When a wall outlet only has 120 volts of charge but is way more lethal than a balloon. This concept is kind of confusing but it basically says that the amount of volts doesn't matter, its the amount of charge per volt. Electric potential energy is the thing to watch out for not electric potential. Everything has electric potential buts its the amount of energy of charge that makes the potential energy kinetic. Thats a little breakdown of how volts and energy of charge are related, and a piece of advice. DO NOT STICK YOUR FINGER OR ANY BARE ELECTRICITY CONDUCTOR IN A WALL OUTLET!!!
