Your hands are completely dry and the resistance of your body from fingertip to fingertip is approximately 5.1×105 2. If you accidentally touch both terminals of your 115 V household electricity supply with dry fingers, what is the current that flows through your body? (Give your answer in milliamps).

Using your understanding of the nature of internal energy and temperature, explain why we might expect the resistance of a solid to increase if its temperature increases.
(a) Find the current in each resistor of Figure P18.18 by using the rules for resistors in series and parallel. (b) Write three independent equations for the three currents using Kirchhoffs laws: one with the node rule; a second using the loop rule through the battery, the 6.0- resistor, and the 24.0- resistor; and the third using the loop rule through the 12.0- and 24.0- resistors. Solve to check the answers found in part (a). Figure Pl8.18
In Figure 21.41. does the graph indicate the time constant is shorter for discharging than for charging? Would you expect ionized gas to have low resistance? How would you adjust R to get a longer time between flashes? Would adjusting R affect the discharge time?
pls help asap tnx
The resistance of the skin on a person's finger is typically about 10,000 N. How much voltage would be needed to cause a current of 0.001 A to flow into the finger?

The figure shows a circuit with three batteries and four resistors. Determine the magnitude of the current through resistor R, if the battery emfs and resistances are: &₁-47 V, &₂2-17 V, 83-28 V, R₁-6 Q, R 9 Q, R3-60, and R₁ - 60. Ry R₁ www Es [Tip: Start by using Kirchhoff's node and/or loop rules to write a system of three equations for the three branch currents. Then solve the system either analytically or using a solver like Matlab, etc.]
