Concept explainers

Microscopic view of current

In physics, the term current is expressed as the rate of flow of electric charges across the area per unit time (I=q/t). It propagates along in the direction of the motion of positive charges. When the current is caused by the motion of electrons, the direction of the current is opposite to the flow.

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?

The resistance of the body varies from approximately 500 kΩkΩ (when it is very dry) to about 1.0 kΩkΩ (when it is wet). The maximum safe current is about 5.3 mAmA.

A heart defibrillator is used to enable the heart to start beating if it has stopped.
