The resistance of a human body changes, you can divide it in 3 groups: dry body, semi-wet body (sweat,...) and wet body (in a swimming pool,...) the more wet the body becomes, the lower the resistance.

What is the resistance of a blown fuse?

Infinite...a blown fuse is an 'open' in electronics terms. Infinite resistance.It will not read zero on a digital multimeter, it will read as a maximum resistance.A fuse, when good, has zero (practically speaking) resistance. When it blows, it has infinite resistance, thus on a multimeter it will provide a high reading.... When an analogue (not digital) multi-meter is set to ohms it will read zero when blown. If you touch both leads off the meter it will read full scale. if the leads are NOT touching the meter will read zero. so if your fuse is blown it will act like the leads are not touching because it is blown. It is good practice not to touch the exposed lead ends or the fuse under test as the resistance of your body can give a false reading.The ohm scale on an analog multimeter is reversed...when the meter is at the far left, what you might think is zero, it is indicating infinite resistance. When you try and determine the resistance of a fuse that is blown, the meter will not move from the left side of the scale. That is not zero resistance. That is infinite resistance.


What happens if a thermistor is heated?

the thermistors respond negatively to the temperature and their resistance decreases with the increase in temperature. Since the resistance of thermistors is dependent on the temperature, they can be connected in the electrical circuit to measure the temperature of the body.

How does the body resistance depend the body fat?

Body resistance, or impedance, is influenced by body fat because fat tissue has a lower water content compared to lean tissue, which is more conductive. Higher body fat percentage typically results in increased resistance to electrical flow in the body. This is why bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) can be used to estimate body composition; as body fat increases, the resistance measured also tends to increase. Thus, body resistance provides insights into the proportion of fat versus lean mass in an individual.


Which body falls earlier wether a body of mass 1 kg or a body of mass 0.1 gm?

If there is no air resistance - or if, due to the conditions, air resistance is insignificant - both will fall together. If there is air resistance, usually the lighter body will be more affected by air resistance (in relation to its weight), and therefore fall slower.


What is the relation between the velocity of a moving body and the resistance?

The velocity of a moving body is inversely proportional to the resistance it faces. This means that as the resistance increases, the velocity of the body decreases, and vice versa. More resistance leads to slower movement, while less resistance allows for faster movement.


How do gravity and air resistance affect a falling body?

Gravity causes the body to accelerate towards the ground, while air resistance opposes this motion by pushing against the body as it falls. The interaction between gravity and air resistance determines the overall speed and trajectory of the falling body.


What is human body resistance to electricity if skin is wet?

When the skin is wet, the electrical resistance of the human body decreases significantly, making it easier for electricity to flow through the body. This can increase the risk of electric shock and serious injury or even death. Wet skin provides a more conductive path for electricity to travel, bypassing the body's natural resistance mechanisms.
