Question

Physics

The average resistivity of the human body (apart from surfaceresistance of the skin) is about 5.0 Ω⋅mΩ⋅m. The conducting pathbetween the right and left hands can be approximated as a cylinder1.6 mm long and 0.10 mm in diameter. The skin resistance can bemade negligible by soaking the hands in salt water. If skinresistance is negligible, what potential difference between thehands is needed for a lethal shock current of 100 mAmA? (Yourresult shows that even small potential differences can producedangerous currents when the skin is damp.)
