Question

The resistance of human body varies between

• A. \(100 \Omega \text{ to } 50,000 \Omega\)
• B. \(100 \Omega \text{ to } 5,000 \Omega\)
• C. \(1000 \Omega \text{ to } 5,00,000 \Omega\)
• D. \(100 \Omega \text{ to } 5,00,000 \Omega\)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To solve the problem, we need to understand the typical range of electrical resistance offered by the human body.

1. Understanding Human Body Resistance:
The resistance of the human body varies widely depending on factors like skin condition (wet or dry), the path of current through the body, and individual physiology.

2. General Range:
- For dry skin, the resistance can be very high, up to 5,00,000 ohms (500 kΩ).
- For wet skin, resistance can drop significantly, even below 1,000 ohms.
Hence, the full range typically lies between 100 Ω to 5,00,000 Ω.

Final Answer:
The correct answer is option (D): 100 Ω to 5,00,000 Ω.
