Electric current passing through a human body can be dangerous, even fatal, depending on the amount of current, the duration of the current, and the region of the body through which the current passes. However, currents less than about 0.5 mA are typically imperceptible. A current caused by a low potential difference typically travels through the outer layer of the skin. The resistance of the skin therefore determines how much current flows for a given potential difference. The resistance can be influenced by a number of factors, including whether the skin is wet or dry. For example, suppose an electric current of 89.0 µA follows a path through the thumb and index finger. When the skin is dry, the resistance along this path is 4.70 ✕ 105 Ω. What voltage (in V) is required for this current, in the case of dry skin? V When the skin is wet, the resistance is lowered to 2,200 Ω. What voltage (in V) is required for the same current, in the case of wet skin? V

The lid of a pressure cooker forms a nearly airtight seal. steam builds up pressure and increases temperature within the pressure cooker so that food cooks faster than it does in an ordinary pot. the system is defined as the pressure cooker and the water and steam within it. if 2.0 g of water is sealed in a pressure cooker and then vaporized by heating, and 5127 j must be added as heat to completely vaporize the water, what is the change in the system’s internal energy? answer in units of j.
