(b) The negative value for a may not be maintained for very low temperatures. Discuss why and whether this is the case here. (Hint: Resistance can’t become negative.)

(a) Show that the resistance of the footwear is Rshoes=50.0VVV (b) In a medical test, a current through the human body should not exceed 150 A. Can the current delivered by the ANSI-specified circuit exceed 150 A? To decide, consider a person standing barefoot on the ground plate. Figure P27.14

(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 = .)
