Question
Large capacitors can hold a potentially dangerous
charge long after a circuit has been turned off, so it
is important to make sure they are discharged
before you touch them. Suppose a 120 F
capacitor from a camera flash unit retains a voltage
of 200 V when an unwary student removes it from
the camera.
Part A
If the student accidentally touches the two terminals with his hands, and if the resistance of his body between his hands is
1.8 k12, for how long will the current across his chest exceed the danger level of 50 mA?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
