.A current flowing through you of more than 5 ma is considered dangerous. Why do we see warnings about high voltage, rather than high current? What voltages are dangerous even if the skin is dry? (Dry skin has a resistance of 100 kohms while wet skin can be much less.) An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a recording of differences in voltage observed on the scalp by attaching electrical contacts. If voltage differences that are observed are about 0.5 mv, and the resistance of the skin is about 10 kohms, what size currents are involved?
