Question Answered step-by-step A boy is trying to retrieve his toast from a toaster using a metal… A boy is trying to retrieve his toast from a toaster using a metal fork. He touches one of the wires inside, which is connected to 120 V. The resistance of his hand touching the knife is 10 kOhm. He is barefoot and has one foot on the ground. What is the current through his body? Is this current dangerous? For the resistance of different parts of the body please refer to Figure 26.12. I attached a picture of it.Image transcription textnce Heart fibrillation, likely fatal > 100 > 500 FIGURE 26.12 Resistance model of the body. Arm: 310 0Arm: 310 0 WW Torso: 30 0 Leg: 290 0 Leg: 290 0 When current traverses the torso between any two points(arm to arm, arm to leg, leg to leg) this adds a resistance of 30 0….
