A person is working near the secondary of a transformer, as shown in Figure P21.25. The primary voltage is 120 V (rms) at 60.0 Hz. The capacitance Cs, which is the stray capacitance between the hand and the secondary winding, is 20.0 pF. Assuming the person has a body resistance to ground of Rb = 50.0 kΩ, determine the rms voltage across the body.FIGURE P21.25
