reek v. Old English recan (Anglian), reocan (West Saxon) emit smoke, from Proto-Germanic *reukanan (cf. Old Frisian reka smoke, Middle Dutch roken, Dutch rieken to smoke, Old High German riohhan to smoke, steam, German rauchen to smoke, riechen to smell).
Ohm's law states that the current drawn depends on the resistance of the body. The resistance of human skin varies from person to person and fluctuates between different times of day. The NIOSH states Under dry conditions, the resistance offered by the human body may be as high as 100,000 Ohms. Wet or broken skin may drop the body's resistance to 1,000 Ohms, adding that high-voltage electrical energy quickly breaks down human skin, reducing the human body's resistance to 500 Ohms.
Resistance is a measure of how much an object opposes the passage of electrons. The unit of electrical resistance is the ohm and it is represented by Ï. Every material has Resistance. Copper has a low resistance and wood has a high resistance. For example, a metre of copper has a resistance of only 1 Ohm but a metre of wood has a resistance of 10000000 ohm.
