Question

If you work out enough to visibly increase the diameter of your biceps, will this increase or decrease your susceptibility to electric shock?

If you work out enough to visibly increase the diameter of your biceps, will this increase or decrease your susceptibility to electric shock?

1 If we consider the muscles as a resistor, increasing the diameter of the muscles would decrease the resistance, and hence decrease one's susceptibility to electrical shock. 2 If we consider the muscles as a resistor, increasing the diameter of the muscles would increase the resistance, and hence increase one's susceptibility to electrical shock. 3 If we consider the muscles as a resistor, increasing the diameter of the muscles would decrease the resistance, and hence increase one's susceptibility to electrical shock. 4 If we consider the muscles as a resistor, increasing the diameter of the muscles would increase the resistance, and hence decrease one's susceptibility to electrical shock.

Explanation / Answer

The formula for resitance is

R = rho L/ A = rho L/ pi ( d/2)^2

here d is diameter

when diameter increase resistance wil decrease because they are inversily prorportional

from the Ohm's law V = IR

V/I = R

when resittance decrease current will be increase

so option ( 3) is correct answer .

If we consider the muscles as a resistor, increasing the diameter of the muscles would decrease the resistance, and hence increase one's susceptibility to electrical shock.
