A plumber is using an electric drill in a basement with a concrete floor.Assume his total body resistance from hands to feet is 1k ohm.The drill has a metal case that is connected to the ground wire in the 3-prong plug. If he acccidentally drills into a 110-volt power line,
(i) what is the resulting ground current,assuming a 1ohm ground resistance?
(ii) Would the ground current trip a 20-amp breaker?
(iii) what is the current through the plumber's body?
