Question
A person notices a mild shock if the current along a path through the thumb and index finger exceeds $80 . \mu \mathrm{A}$ Compare the maximum possible voltage without shock across the thumb and index finger with a dry-skin resistance of $4.0 \times$ $10^{5} \Omega$ and a wet-skin resistance of 2.0 $\mathrm{k} \Omega$ .
Step 1
Step 1: We know from Ohm's Law that voltage is related to current and resistance as $V = I \times R$, where $V$ is the voltage, $I$ is the current, and $R$ is the resistance. Show more…

A person notices a mild shock if the current along a path through the thumb and index finger exceeds $80 \mu \mathrm{A}$. Compare the maximum possible voltage without shock across the thumb and index finger with a dry-skin resistance of $4.0 \times 10^{5} \Omega$ and a wet-skin resistance of $2000 \Omega$.
A person notices a mild shock if the current along a path through the thumb and index finger exceeds $80.0 \mu \mathrm{A} .$ Determine the maximum allowable potential difference without shock across the thumb and index finger for the following: a. a dry-skin resistance of $4.0 \times 10^{5} \Omega.$ b. a wet-skin resistance of $2.0 \times 10^{3} \Omega.$
A person notices a mild shock if the current along a path through the thumb and index finger exceeds 80 µA. Compare the maximum possible voltage without shock across the thumb and index finger with a dry-skin resistance of 4.0 × 10^5 Ω and a wet-skin resistance of 2,000 Ω.
