The figure below shows a simplified model of a cardiac defibrillator, a device used to resuscitate patients in ventricular fibrillation. R E + S C Rorso When the switch S is toggled to the left, the capacitor C charges through the resistor R. When the switch is toggled to the right, the capacitor discharges current through the patient's torso, modeled as the resist Rtorso allowing the heart's normal rhythm to be reestablished. HINT (a) If the capacitor is initially uncharged with C = 7.25 μF and E= 1220 V, find the value of R (in ohms) required to charge the capacitor to a voltage of 755 V in 1.60 s. Q (b) If the capacitor is then discharged across the patient's torso with Rtorso = 12700, calculate the voltage (in V) across the capacitor after 4.50 ms.

Introduction:
The voltage applied to capacitor is given. Since capacitor and resistor are connected in series, the voltage gets divided. We can thus find the resistance. We are then given the resistor through which the capacitor gets discharged.
The voltage of capacitor discharging is given as
Where are resistance and capacitance respectively.
