reek v. Old English recan (Anglian), reocan (West Saxon) emit smoke, from Proto-Germanic *reukanan (cf. Old Frisian reka smoke, Middle Dutch roken, Dutch rieken to smoke, Old High German riohhan to smoke, steam, German rauchen to smoke, riechen to smell).
Ohm's law states that the current drawn depends on the resistance of the body. The resistance of human skin varies from person to person and fluctuates between different times of day. The NIOSH states Under dry conditions, the resistance offered by the human body may be as high as 100,000 Ohms. Wet or broken skin may drop the body's resistance to 1,000 Ohms, adding that high-voltage electrical energy quickly breaks down human skin, reducing the human body's resistance to 500 Ohms.
Insulation Resistance Test. This test is to measure the total resistance of a productâs insulation by applying a voltage of 500V â 1000V for low voltage systems. The minimum acceptable value of resistance for a product to pass an insulation resistance test is 1 mega Ohm (1000 kohms). The insulation resistance test is not a substitute for the high voltage test. Many standards and safety agencies have specified this is a universal test for all products.
