46:10 Electricity follows the path of least resistance also if you are on the thing of least resistance, and you are of a greater resistance then you will not be the direct path of the current and it will go through it not you… as you are of the same potential as the Voltage ( V=IR is a thing of beauty as a concept and calculation ) so you will not attract it directly, but there will be heating and other effects to the thing you are next to that will likely effect you….. if you are a lesser resistance than what you are standing on… it will use you as part of the direct path… and then you with get hot and take a shock This is why four legged animals have a lower body resistance … a fault voltage path travels through the mass of earth, up a leg, along the body and down another leg to earth if the Earth’s resistance is greater.. Animal can deal with up to 25 V as a rule of thumb and humans 50V without danger to them.
