    Would the 60 hertz frequency (in the US) mean there is less time that the current is being applied compared to 50 herts (rest of the world?), causing less harm to a person in the path?

    No. The integral of a squared sine does not depend on its frequency, assuming an integral number of oscillations is considered. :)

      It is not necessary to tabulate the values of sin x between pi and 2pi radians (or 180 to 360 degrees), for these values are negative but equal in magnitude to the sines of the angles between 0 and pi radians (or 0 to 180 degrees). Does that clear it up a bit?

      It was broke, so I fixed it.

        No. I referred to a sine square (which is what matters when AC power or energy is in play), and that is always positive; over an integral number of oscillations, the integral does not depend on frequency, hence the answer to the original Q is also: No. :|
