A person with body resistance between his hands of 11 kΩ accidentally grasps the terminals of a 16-kV power supply. Part A If the internal resistance of the power supply is 1600 Ω , what is the current through the person's body? Part B What is the power dissipated in his body? Part C If the power supply is to be made safe by increasing its internal resistance, what should the internal resistance be for the maximum current in the above situation to be Imax=1.00mA or less? 25.70 A person with body resistance between his hands of 10 kΩ accidentally grasps the terminals of a 16-kV power supply. What is the power dissipated in his body? If the power supply is to be made safe by increasing its internal resistance, what should the internal resistance be for the maximum current in the above situation to be Imax=1.00mA or less?

The resistance of the body varies from approximately 500 kΩ (when it is very dry) to about 1.00kΩ (when it is wet). The maximum safe current is about 5.00 mA. At 10.0mA or above, muscle contractions can occur that may be fatal.a)What is the largest potential difference that a person can safely touch if his body is wet?b)Is this result within the range of common household voltages?

A person will feel a shock when a current of greater than approximately 100 μA flows between his index finger and thumb. If the resistance of dry skin is 200 times larger than the resistance of wet skin, how do the maximum voltages without shock compare in each scenario? A The voltage on dry skin needs to be 200 times smaller than the voltage on wet skin. B The voltage on dry skin needs to be 200 times larger than the...
