a. Rewrite Kirchhoff's Law as a differential equation in q.
b. Assume a heart resistance R = 1.8 x 106 ohms and a capacitance C= 0.50 microfarads, and an
initial voltage at = 0 of 90 millivolts on the capacitor. (Note: Charge, capacitance, and voltage
are related by q =CV.)
Solve an appropriate initial value problem to find
• the charge on the capacitor (in coulombs) as a function of time g(t);
• the current in the circuit as a function of time i(t);
the values of charge and current after 0.70 seconds;
•
the voltage across the capacitor, and therefore across the heart muscle, after 0.70 s.
