Q. A person, while driving a car in a cyclone and waiting at an intersection, hears a thumping sound when a power line falls across the car and makes contact with the chassis. The power line voltage to ground is 2400 V. Instinctively he steps out onto the wet ground, while holding the door handle, to check out the external situation. Assuming his body resistance to be 10 k and negligible auto chassis resistance, comment on what might happen to the individual. Would it have been safer for him to remain in the car until some help arrived?
