Jio Almonte is the executive assistant in the Torralba-Santos group of companies. Because of his background in computer engineering, he has been the "go-to" guy for repairing desktop computers in the company. One day, while he was troubleshooting a co-worker's 12-volt power supply, he was electrocuted. Seeing that he forgot to wear his gloves, and he was deliberately pulled to fix it while he was washing his coffee mug, the others worried that he might not survive and immediately dialed 911. Given the human body's fragility to electricity, many doctors and scientists agree that it only takes 100 to 300 milliamperes to fatally injure, or sometimes kill, a human. Higher amperages lower the victim's window of survival. Given the current difference, is Jio in danger? Why or why not?
