| Abstract |
The physiological effects of electric current in relation to its duration of passage are presented succinctly in a table. For a given voltage, the intensity of the current depends on the impedance of the human body. The conditions in the body are reproduced by models of electrical circuits. Results of measurements taken with 10 human subjects (hands wetted with a saline solution). The values were partly above 1,100Ohm for a voltage of 25V. |
