A person shuf?ing across a dry carpet can be approximately modeled as a charged 100-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 20,000 V and the resistance (mainly of one's ?nger) is 100?. Determine the peak current during discharge and the time constant of the current.
