(a) A defibrillator sends a 6.00-A current through the chest of a patient by applying a 10,000-V potential as in the figure below. What is the resistance of the path? (b) The defibrillator paddles make contact with the patient through a conducting gel that greatly reduces the path resistance. Discuss the difficulties that would ensue if a larger voltage were used to produce the same current through the patient, but with the path having perhaps 50 times the resistance. (Hint: The current must be about the same, so a higher voltage would imply greater power. Use this equation for power: P=I2 RP = .)

Alternative light bulb designs are compact fluorescent bulbs, which use a glass tube which coils tightly, or LED bulbs. The efficiency of compact fluorescent light bulbs is about 75% and the efficiency of LED bulbs can be as high as 90%. 1. Calculate the electrical power that a compact fluorescent and an LED bulb would require in order to produce the same light power as a 60 W filament light bulb. The image below shows some properties of the three different light bulbs. The cost of electricity is about $1.40 to supply 1 W of electrical power for a year.
