A person shuffling across a dry carpet can be approximately modeled as a charged 100-pF capacitance with one end grounded. If the person touches a grounded metallic object such asa water faucet, the capacitance is discharged and the person experiences a brief shock.Typically, the capacitance may be charged to 20,000 V and the resistance (mainly of one’sfinger) is 100 Ω. Determine the peak current during discharge and the time constant of theshock
