A rough value for the internal resistance of the human body is 300-1,000 Ohms.
I=V/R

50,000/1000=50A
50,000/300=167A!!!

Depending on the person, the resistance of dry skin is usually between 1,000-100,000 Ohms.
50,000/100,000=0.5A
That's 500mA, 5 times the amount required to stop your heart.

For 1000Ohms, 3v will give 0.003A

Am I getting something wrong?
The electricity should flow at a current as high as it possibly can depending on the resistance of the material it's passing through right?
