Wondering if anyone can help me with this.
Trying to find out what path electrical current takes when it passes from one hand to the other on its way to earth. I know it goes up the arm, across the chest and then down the other arm and out the hand to Earth through whatever earthed object said hand is in contact with.
But what i want to know, is GENERALLY, where in the arms and body the current travels? And i am talking about standard UK mains voltage. Does the current travel along the skin, or does it pass to the blood and muscle and travel trough that?
On a side note, what is the GENERAL difference between the resistance of hard skin on the hands and soft skin on for example, the inner arm? I know moisture plays a big part. So just want to know a general range of what the resistances could be?
Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanx
