Question

A person with body resistance between his hands of 11 kΩ accidentally grasps the terminals of a 16-kV power supply. Part A If the internal resistance of the power supply is 1600 Ω , what is the current through the person's body? Part B What is the power dissipated in his body? Part C If the power supply is to be made safe by increasing its internal resistance, what should the internal resistance be for the maximum current in the above situation to be Imax=1.00mA or less? 25.70 A person with body resistance between his hands of 10 kΩ accidentally grasps the terminals of a 16-kV power supply.
