How do I use ohm's law to explain why an electric shock applied on wet skin is more dangerous than the same electric shock on dry skin?

Ohm's Law states that current (I) equals voltage (V) divided by resistance (R), expressed as I = V/R. Wet skin has lower resistance compared to dry skin due to the presence of moisture, which allows electricity to pass through more easily. Therefore, when an electric shock is applied to wet skin, a higher current flows through the body for the same voltage, increasing the risk of severe injury or even fatality. This illustrates why electric shocks are more dangerous on wet skin than on dry skin.

Why is the wetbulb thermometer read lower than The dry bulb thermometer?

The wet bulb thermometer is typically read lower than the dry bulb thermometer because the evaporation of water on the wet bulb cools the sensor by removing heat from it. This process is known as evaporative cooling and results in a lower temperature reading on the wet bulb thermometer compared to the dry bulb thermometer.


Is The wet bulb thermometer reading is always higher than the dry bulb?

No, the wet bulb is always lower. Evaporation from the wet bulb reduces its temperature.
