This procedure is not recommended! You'll see why after you work the problem. You are on an aluminum ladder that is standing on the ground, trying to fix an electrical connection with a metal screwdriver having a metal handle. Your body is wet because you are sweating from the exertion; therefore, it has a resistance of 1.80 kΩ .

Part A If you accidentally touch the "hot" wire connected to the 120 V line, how much current will pass through your body? I =

Part B Is this amount enough to be dangerous? (The maximum safe current is about 5.00 mA .)

Part C How much electrical power is delivered to your body?

Solutions

Expert Solution

from ohms law

I = V/R

V = potential


R = resistance


I = 120/(1.8*10^3) = 0.067 A = 67 mA


---------------

part(B)

YES dangerous

--------------

part B


power = I^2*R


P = (67*10^-3)^2*1.8*10^3 = 8.1 W

By the time that you get to 11.5, you'll hopefully see why all of the counting sections were necessary. For this thread, I'd like for you to come up with a situation where you would find the probability in the following way. That is, what is a situation for X where the computation would be correct? P(X) = 50c20/50c40 Part II: Come up with a situation where you would need to find the probability with the fundamental counting principle, combination,...
