The resistance of physiological tissues is quite variable. The resistance of the internal tissues of humans, primarily composed of salty solutions, is quite low. Here the resistance between two internal points in the body is on the order of 100 ohms. Dry skin, however, can have a very high resistance, with values ranging from thousands to hundreds of thousands of ohms. However, if skin is wet, it is far more conductive, and so even contact with small voltages can create large, dangerous currents though a human body. (For example, although there is no specific minimum current that is lethal, currents generally exceeding a couple tenths of Amps may be deadly.)

Assuming that electrocution can be prevented if currents are kept below 0.1 A, and assuming the resistance of dry skin is 100,000 ohms, what is the maximum voltage with which a person could come into contact while avoiding electrocution? (Of course, all bets are off and things become far more dangerous if this person's skin is wet, which can reduce the resistance by more than a factor of 100.)

Given Information:  

Current = I = 0.1 A

Resistance = R = 100 kΩ

Required Information:  

Voltage = V = ?

Voltage = V = 1000 V

Step-by-step explanation:  

We know that electrocution depends upon the amount of current flowing through the body and the voltage across the body.

V = IR

Where I is the current flowing through the body and R is the resistance of body.

If electrocution can be avoided when the current is below 0.1 A then

V = 0.1*10×10³

V = 1000 Volts

Therefore, 1000 V is the maximum voltage with which a person could come into contact while avoiding electrocution, any voltage more than 1000 V may result in fatal electrocution.

Also note that human body has very low resistance when the body is wet therefore, above calculated value would not be applicable in such case.

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it
