a) Suppose the power company installs some equipment that could provide a 250 V shock to a human being. Is the current that results dangerous enough to warrant posting a warning sign and taking other precautions to prevent such a shock? Assume that if the source is 250 V, the resistance of the arm is 400 Ω, the resistance of the trunk is 50 Ω, and the resistance of the leg is 200 Ω. Use the model given in Fig. 2.25(b).

b) Find resistor values from Appendix H that could be used to build a circuit whose behavior is the closest to the model described in part (a).
