This isn't part of a test it is a Home work question 

 

John is changing a lightbulb in a lamp. It's a warm summer evening, and the resistance of his damp skin is only 3300 ΩΩ . While one hand is holding the grounded metal frame of the lamp, the other hand accidentally touches the hot electrode in the base of the socket. The voltage of the socket is 120 VV . Use the data shown in 

Part A

What is the current through his torso?        
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
