3. A heart attack often leads to a condition called fibrillation in which the heart's action lose their synchronization and is unable to pump blood effectively. This condition can often be corrected by an electric shock to the heart that completely stops it for the moment; the heart may then again start spontaneously in its normal rhythm. An appropriate such shock can be provided by a discharge of a 10 µF capacitor that has been charged to a potential difference of 6000V. (a). What energy is released as a current pulse? (b) How much charge passes through the patient's body? (c) If the pulse lasts 5ms, what is the average current that passes through the patient's body?
