Is the human body a conductorinsulator or semiconductor?
It is a conductor, I'm pretty sure.
What is the largest component of the human body?
The skin is the largest organ in the human body. The biggest "component" in the body is water.
Why human body is conductor of electricity?
The human body has lots of water. While pure water is a good insulator, the human body (and naturally occurring water) has dissolved ions, which are the main reason for the conduction of electricity in this case.
What you the largest organ n the human body?
The Skin ...
How is bioelectricity in human body?
Well, our muscles rely on electrical impulses in order to move; connected to the spinal cord and thus the brain. The heart, brain, diaphragm & various other muscles are needed for survival.
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.
Why has the greater electrical resistance in wet skin?
Wet things are provide less resistance to electricity
Why should we not touch electric appliances with your wet hands?
It's the electric current that hurts you, not the voltage. But the current is determined by:Current = Voltage / Resistance.Normally your skin has very high resistance; since resistance is in the denominator, this means low current.But water will lower your skin's resistance, thereby raising the amount of current flowing through your body.
Is the human body a conductorinsulator or semiconductor?
It is a conductor, I'm pretty sure.
What happens when skin resistance is high?
High skin resistance can produce severe skin burns but prevent the current from entering the body
What is the human bod'y biggest organ?
The largest organ in the human body is the skin.
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.
How does the human body generates electric?
Our body can build up charge by means of static electricity. Our skin can conduct electricity in moderate amount. Our brain functions on electrical impulses carried back and to by the nerves. Certain membranes in our body have resting potential of .4mV. Muscle contraction can generate some electricity as well.
What can the human skin do that the human body can't do?
Human skin produces Vitamin D in presence of sun light but not the other parts of body.
What is the shape of the human skin?
The skin has the shape of your body.
