Question

If the resistance of your body is 100000Ω what wouldbe the current that flows in your body when you touchthe terminals of a 12V battery?

Answer 1

answer : 8333.33A

explanation : according to Ohm's law, current through an ideal conductor is directly proportional to applied potential difference across it.

i.e., V ∝ I ⇒ V = IR

where R is proportionality constant is known as resistance of wire.

here given,

R = 100000Ω , V = 12 Volts

so, I = 100000Ω/12volts

= 8333.33 A

hence, current that flows in your body when you touch the terminal of 12 V battery is 8333.33A
