1. A current of 0.001 A can be felt by the human body. 0.005 A can produce a pain response. 0.015 A can cause a loss of muscle control. In the procedures of this lesson, over 0.030 A of current traveled in the three-battery circuit. Why was this circuit safe to handle with dry hands?

It was safe to handle the circuit with dry hands because dry skin body resistance is very high, measuring up to 500,000 ohms.

Explanation:

Given;

Current of 0.001 A to be felt

Current of 0.005 A can produce a pain response

Current of 0.015 A can cause a loss of muscle control

Total current that traveled in the three-battery circuit = 0.03 A

Thus, we can conclude that, it was safe to handle the above mentioned circuit with dry hands because dry skin body resistance is very high, measuring up to 500,000 ohms.
