Hello everyone, i'm new here and i'm trying to learn about electronics from scratch.
At the end of this page of the primer https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/direct-current/chpt-3/common-sources-hazard/ , i've read this sentence that is confusing me
But how to calculate the voltage passing through your body, based on the distance between your feet/hands , your body resistance, the length of the wire you are touching and the voltage through its ends ?

So in general , if you touch 2 electrically common points of a circuit with your hands or feet, like in the example, you are going to get shocked, right?Therefore, a person standing on the ground between those two points will be in danger of receiving an electric shock by intercepting a voltage between their two feet!
