The conducting path between the right hand and the left hand can be modeled as a 9.0-cm-diameter, 140-cm-long cylinder. The aver

age resistivity of the interior of the human body is 5.5 Ωm . Dry skin has a much higher resistivity, but skin resistance can be made negligible by soaking the hands in salt water. If skin resistance is neglected, what potential difference between the hands is needed for a lethal shock of 100 \rm mA across the chest? Your result shows that even small potential differences can produce dangerous currents when the skin is wet.
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer:

The potential difference is 121.069 V

Solution:

As per the question:

Diameter of the cylinder, d = 9.0 cm = 0.09 m

Length of the cylinder, l = 40 cm = 1.4 m

Average Resistivity, \rho = 5.5\ \Omega-m

Current, I = 100 mA = 0.1 A

Now,

To calculate the potential difference between the hands:

Cross- sectional Area of the Cylinder, A = \pi (\frac{d}{2})^{2} = 6.36\times 10^{- 3}\ m^{2}

Resistivity is given by:

\rho = R\frac{A}{l}

R = \rho \frac{l}{A}

R = 5.5\times \frac{1.4}{6.36\times 10^{- 3}} = 1210.69\ \Omega

Now, using Ohm's Law:

V = IR

V = 0.1\times 1210.69 = 121.069\ V

- Which of the following does not move as a transverse wave?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

- Which of the following does not move as a transverse wave?

<em>B. sound waves</em>

because sound waves are longitudinal waves having compressions and rare factions.

Which of these effects describes the change in pitch we hear

moving motorbike goes past?

<em>D</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>Doppler</em><em> </em><em>eff</em><em>ect</em>

Doppler effect is the phenomenon where there is apparent change in frequency (pitch) and wavelength of a wave due to relative motion of the sound source.

Which of the following does not make use of total internal reflection.

<em>B</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>Endos</em><em>cop</em><em>e</em>

Endoscope doesn't use total internal reflection since no refraction takes place.
