please answer all parts of this question

Giant electric eels can deliver a voltage shock of 5.00 x 10² V and up to 1.00 A of current for a brief time. What is the
maximum power a giant electric eel can deliver to its prey during this time?
maximum power:
The body of a snorkeler swimming in salt water has a resistance of about 585 2. If the snorkeler is unfortunate enough to be
struck by the eel, what current will flow through her body?
current:
Incorrect
A current of about 500 mA can cause heart fibrillation and death if it lasts too long.
Is the current through the swimmer in this case large enough to be dangerous?
yes
no
