The current resistance of bodies of Karthik and Hemanth are `10,000Omegaand1,00,000Omega` respectively. If they touch a current wire with 240 V, who may exerience more effect by an electrical shock ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

1. Karthik may get more effect by an electrical shock.
2. `I_("karthik")=(V)/(R)rArr(240)/(10,000)=0.024A`
`I_("Hemanth")=(V)/(R)rArr(240)/(10,00,000)=0.024A`
3. `"Here"I_("Karthik")gtI_("Hemanth")`
