Question

The resistance of a dry human body is very low whereas that of wet body is very high.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. When a human body is wet, it becomes a good conductor and provides less resistance.
2. Under wet situations, the human body resistance is approximately equivalent to 1000 ohms, whereas, in dry conditions, the resistance is approximately equal to one megaohm, that is $1\mathrm{M\Omega }$.
3. So, the dry human body is more resistant to shocks due to higher resistance.

Therefore, the resistance of a dry human body is very high as compared to a wet body.

Hence, the given statement is false.
