1. While repairing an electric bulb socket, an electrician gets a mild shock when a current of. 0.005 A passes through him. The same electrician is killed by a current 0.15 A when he turned on an electric bulb while taking a bath. The voltage in each situation is equal to 120 V. Find the resistance of the electrician in each situation.
