Consider what happens when a person moves around in dry conditions. The rubbing ofmotion leads to static electric charge building up on the body. Assume the capacitanceof the human body to be about 155 pF.a) How much charge would have to build up on a body to generate a potential differenceof 10 kV?b) A particular cell phone can have its circuits destroyed if exposed to an electricshock containing 300 u.J of energy. What voltage does that correspond to if the shockis coming from a human body?
