Question:
An electric current of 50 mA passing through the human body is sufficient to provide lethal cardiac arrhythmias. The resistance R for a current passing through a human body is approx. 200 kΩ if the skin is dry. R, on the other hand, is only 2.0 kΩ if the skin is moist.
Determine the amount of electrical voltage required to produce this electrical current when:
a) The skin is dry.
b) The skin is moist.
Answer alternatives:
a) 100 V
b) 1.0 kV
c) 10 Kv
d) 100 kV
