The resistance of a human body is about?
Correct answer: C. 120K ohm
- A. 12 ohm
- B. 120 ohm
- C. 120K ohm
- D. 120M ohm
Explanation
Human resistance is about 10,000 ohms on the high side and as little as 1,000 ohms if the person is wet.The Human body has different resistances; when dry, resistance is 100,000 ohms.The human body's resistance to current flow varies depending on: internal and external moisture, exposed sub-epidermal tissue, and skin thickness. Therefore, the value may fluctuate, so the approximated answer is option C; "120K ohms".

About Current Electricity
Steady current relates charge flow to potential difference, resistance and resistivity, including how temperature changes a conductor's resistance. Sources with internal resistance have terminal voltage below their emf when delivering current, and maximum power output occurs under a specific load condition rather than at zero resistance.
