In some countries AC outlets near bathtubs are restricted to a maximum of 25 V to minimize the chance of dangerous shocks while bathing. A man is in the tub, the lower end of his torso is well grounded, and the skin resistance of his wet, soapy hands is negligible. He reaches out and accidentally touches a live electric wire. What voltage on the wire would produce a dangerous 100 mA current?
