Question

This procedure is not recommended! You'll see why after you work the problem. You are on an aluminum ladder that is standing on the ground, trying to fix an electrical connection with a metal screwdriver having a metal handle. Your body is wet because you are sweating from the exertion; therefore, it has a resistance of 1.9 kΩ . Neglect the resistance of the ladder and the ladder-ground contact.
