Rate This Answer

Mosquito In an electronic "bug zapper," a high-voltage power supply powered by mains electricity, which may be a simple transformerless voltage multiplier circuit made with diodes and capacitors, generates a voltage of 2,000 volts or more, high enough to conduct through the body of an insect which bridges the two grids, but not high enough to spark across the air gap. Apparently 2000 volts will kill a mosquito
