Measurements and research from various sources tell us that
-1mA is the sensibility threshold.
-5mA to 10mA hurts.
-40mA causes heart disturbance.
-60mA to 100mA is lethal.
These are reactions of a healthy human body. Much lower currents could be lethal for persons with heart malfunctions, pacemakers or other implanted electronic devices.

The resistance of human skin is highly variable depending on several different variables, but the two main variables are whether the skin is clean or dirty. Clean skin often has a resistance of about 500 ohms. Dirty skin can have electrical resistances of up to several million ohms.

What is human body resistance to electricity if skin is wet?
human body resistance to electricity when skin is wet is 1,000 ohm and when skin is dry its resistance is 100ohm
Which parts of a human body have highest resistance?
skin
What part of the human body has the highest resistance to electrical current?
The Skin
Does the outer skin of a human body has higher resistance than the inside of the human body?
no because the outer skin is dead and the inner skin is still alive and young. that is why when you scratch your skin, it turns white.
What happens when skin resistance is high?
High skin resistance can produce severe skin burns but prevent the current from entering the body
Has the greater electrical resistance wet skin or dry skin?
If the skin is dry it will offer more resistance. The resistance of the human body ranges from about 100 ohms if the body is soaked with salt water to about 5000,000 ohms if the skin is very dry. If we touch the two electrodes of a battery with dry fingers, completing the circuit from one hand to the other, we can expect to offer a resistance of a bout 100,000 ohms. We usually cannot feel 12 volts if we do this, though a 24 volts just barely tingles. If our skin is moist, however, 24 volts can be quite uncomfortable.
What happens when skin resistance is low?
When skin resistance is low, the current may cause little or no skin damage but severely burn internal organs and tissues
What is the difference between a human skin and a polar bear?
Human skin is well skin, and polar bears aren't human skin.
What is the code for the cloven skin in resistance fall of man?
In Resistance 2 there is no code for the cloven skin, but you can still purchase it in the Resistance 2 category in the PlayStation store for a mesely 0.99 cents.
What is r lower for wet skin than for dry skin?
resistance for electricicty
Resistance of the skin to invading organisms is?
innate
Why has the greater electrical resistance in wet skin?
Wet things are provide less resistance to electricity
