How much current will flow through your body if the resistance between your hands is 30,000 ohms and you are connected to 120 volts?

Resistance of our body is given as


R = 30,000 ohm

voltage applied across the body is


V = 120 V

now by ohm's law current pass through our body is given by


i = (V)/(R)


i = (120)/(30,000)[\tex]</p><p>[tex]i = 4 * 10^(-3) A

So current from our body will be 4 * 10^-3 A
