Question

1. A current of 0.001 A can be felt by the human body. 0.005 A can produce a pain response. 0.015 A can cause a loss of muscle control. In the procedures of this lesson, over 0.030 A of current traveled in the three-battery circuit. Why was this circuit safe to handle with dry hands?

Answer 1

It was safe to handle the circuit with dry hands because dry skin body resistance is very high, measuring up to 500,000 ohms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Current of 0.001 A to be felt

Current of 0.005 A can produce a pain response

Current of 0.015 A can cause a loss of muscle control

Total current that traveled in the three-battery circuit = 0.03 A

Thus, we can conclude that, it was safe to handle the above mentioned circuit with dry hands because dry skin body resistance is very high, measuring up to 500,000 ohms.
