A person shuffling across a dry carpet can be approximately modeled as a charged100-pF capacitance with one end grounded. If the person touches a grounded metallic object such as a water faucet, the capacitance is discharged and the person experiences a brief shock. Typically, the capacitance may be charged to 21100V and the resistance (mainly of one's finger) is 160?
Determine the peak current during discharge.
Determine the time constant of the current.
