Question:
The electric eel (Electrophorus electricus) can generate a potential difference of 600 V between a region just behind its head and its tail. Suppose an unsuspecting fi sh swims into this area, resulting in a lethal current of 1.0 A passing through the length of its body. If the fi sh is approximately 25 cm in length and 5.0 cm in diameter, what is its average resistivity?
