Gentlemen:
This question and poll arises from another thread. I would appreciate your vote and any responses. Thank you.
An AC source feeds a xfmr. The secondary produces a high voltage. The two ammeters are calibrated properly. A conducting body is suspended in air and is perfectly insulated from earth. One lead of the secondary is attached to Ammeter 1 and Ammeter 1 is attached to the conducting body. The other lead of the secondary is attached to Ammeter 2 and Ammeter 2 is attached to earth.
Ammeter 1 reads 60 milliamps.
Question: What amperage does ammeter 2 show?
