9. Ohm's Law and DC Circuit: Suppose, your team was assigned to check the status of the wiring in a certain power plant. At first you were evaluating each wire sequence in the circuit connection as shown below. Suddenly, there is an electromotive force of 20,000V (without an internal resistance) that initially made a current to flow. (a) Using Ohm's law, find the equivalent resistance between point a and point b. (b) Also, using Ohm's law find the equivalent current that will flow from point a to point b. (c) If a human skin has a resistivity of 5.0 2m (Assume that the cross sectional area of each is 0.4 m and the height of each person is 181 cm) what is the resistance of each person? (d) by determining the individual values of R for each person, what will be the new equivalent resistance? (e) what will be the current that will act on each resistor (for both actual resistor and human body), after finding the individual current, find the total current? Upon knowing all parameters, who among them will survive the electric shock if the human body can only handle a current of 10 A? Note: for the given resistance multiply it by a factor of 20.
