Option 2 : Wet skin

Wet skin is good conductor of electricity. This is because:

  • About 70% of the body is made up of water and various ions such as  Na+, K+, Cl-  are present in the water. 
  • Salt water provides a large surface area of contact for the conductive element and it connects with the sweat glands so electricity can flow past the skin and into your body.
  • Thus the resistance of wet skin is becomes low and is about 1000 Ω and so current can pass at greater rate for wet skin as compared to dry one.
