Construct Your Own Problem Consider a person working in an environment where electric currents might pass through her body. Construct a problem in which you calculate the resistance of insulation needed to protect the person from harm. Among the things to be considered are the voltage to which the person might be exposed, likely body resistance (dry, wet, ...), and acceptable currents (safe but sensed, safe and unfelt, ...).

Dry air will support a maximum electric field strenth of about 2.0 x 10^8 V/m.Above, the field creates enough ionization in the air to make the air conductor. This allows discharge or spark that reduces the field. What, then, is the maximum voltage between two parallel conducting plates separated by 3.5 cm of dry air?
