A worker is repairing a 120 volt lamp socket using a screwdriver with an insulated handle in his right hand. He is wearing a short sleeved shirt, and his bare arm is braced against a water pipe. A bare hot wire contracts the metal housing of the socket assembly the worker is holding in his hand while he is using the screwdriver in his other hand. A ground path occurs with total resistance of 600 ohms. Calculate current flow and describe its probable path. Will the breaker likely be tripped? Is there a risk of electrocution? If so what factors contribute to the risk?
