Solved: The average resistivity of the human body (apart
Chapter 22, Problem 69(choose chapter or problem)
The average resistivity of the human body (apart from surface resistance of the skin) is about 5.0 n m. The conductingpath between the right and left hands can be approximated as acylinder 1.6 m long and 0.10 m in diameter. The skin resistancecan be made negligible by soaking the hands in salt water.a. What is the resistance between the hands if the skin resistanceis negligible?b. If skin resistance is negligible, what potential differencebetween the hands is needed for a lethal shock cun-ent of100 mA? Your result shows that even small potential differencescan produce dangerous currents when skin is damp.
