| What resistance does the human body have from the palm of one hand to the palm of the other, if at a voltage of 200 V a current of 2 mA flows through it?
Initial data: U (voltage on the human body) = 200 V; I (electric current that flows through the human body) = 2 mA (2 * 10 ^ -3 A).
We calculate the resistance that the human body will have according to Ohm’s law for a section of the circuit: R = U / I.
Let’s make the calculation: R = 200/2 * 10 ^ -3 = 100 * 10 ^ 3 Ohm (100 kOhm).
Answer: The human body will have a resistance of 100 kΩ.
