  I have temporarily taken over our ask the scientist program and was stumped 
by a caller.  It was a mother calling for her 6th grader who was wondering 
about the answer after a school discussion.  As best I can tell, they wanted to 
get a number (probably per unit time) of electricity generated within the 
bodies cellular functions, and not static electrical charges being generated.
