heart defibrillator being used on a patient has an RC time constant of 11 ms due to the resistance of the patient's body and the capacitance of the defibrillator. t = 11 ms C = 8.5 uF V = 14 kV (b) If the initial voltage is 14 kV, how long does it take to decline to 6.00 x 10^2 V in ms?
Ohm's law
Ohm’s law is a prominent concept in physics and electronics. It gives the relation between the current and the voltage. It is used to analyze and construct electrical circuits. Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.
Path of Least Resistance
In a series of alternate pathways, the direction of least resistance is the actual or metaphorical route that offers the least resistance to forwarding motion by a given individual or body.
A heart defibrillator being used on a patient has an RC time constant of 11 ms due to the resistance of the patient's body and the capacitance of the defibrillator.
t = 11 ms
C = 8.5 uF
V = 14 kV
(b) If the initial voltage is 14 kV, how long does it take to decline to 6.00 x 10^2 V in ms?
