This is a very hypothetical situation between two individuals in a very dry atmosphere.
He came running in rubber boots when she was combing her hair.
Around N number of electrons moved from one person to the other upon contact.
What was the voltage between them before the contact?
Assume it is a simple RC type electrical circuit with equivalent capacitance of about 16 pico farads.
Please assume that every electron carries about 160 zepto coulombs.
