An electric fence displays a warning sign about the voltage and amperage of the fence. How would amperage and voltage affect the power of the fence?

OpenStudy (zairahernandez):

a high rate of energy transfer is the killer V = volts I = amps P = rate or energy transfer (power) and P = V * I

OpenStudy (zairahernandez):

power (watts) = amps X volts

OpenStudy (zairahernandez):

You can control the voltage, but the amperage will depend on the resistance. For deterrence you don't need a lot of current; in fact you don't need more than a short pulse at high voltage.
