A defibrillator (Links to an external site.) is used during a heart attack to restore the heart to its normal beating pattern by delivering a therapeutic dose of electric energy to the heart in a very short burst. Suppose a defibrillator passes 91 A of current between the two electrodes (paddles) through the torso of a person in 2.4 ms, and suppose that the effective resistance of the human torso is 84 ΩΩ. What is the potential difference between the two electrodes (paddles) that would produce such a current?
Example 14. This question concerns an engineer investigating a faulty 10 underground electric cable. The underground cable consists of two parallel wires each of length L = 1.750 km. At a distance d from terminals 1 and 2 it develops a fault which is characterised by a resistance _Ry between the lines as 20 represented in ſigure. The resistance measured between terminals 1 and 2 is R, = 415.0n and the resistance measured between terminals 3 and 4 is R2 = 430.52 Terminals 3 and 4 are then connected by a wire of negligible resistance.
