    Limit of cos(x)^(1/x) - Solution Ideas

    Your intuition seems to be right, why is it wrong? If its a stupid question i apologize, I'm working on learning Calculus.

    High School Tesla Coil Shocks: Health Effects & Risk

    Ohms Law says V(Voltage)/R(Resistance) = I (Curent). "The minimum current a human can feel depends on the current type (AC or DC) and frequency. A person can feel at least 1 mA (.001A)(rms) of AC at 60 Hz, while at least 5 mA for DC. The current may, if it is high enough, cause tissue damage...

    High School Tesla Coil Shocks: Health Effects & Risk

    Normally a 10,000 volt (DC or low frequency AC) power source would kill you, anything more than .01 amps. The normal body resistance of a human being is 50,000 ohms. So 10,000 divided by 50,000 is .2 A. So, I am guessing that high frequency AC will create a skin effect so that the current...

    High School What does this remark by Einstein mean?

    A few things come to mind, but it depends on the individual's opinion of "simple".
