You are working in a lab where RC circuits are used to delay the initiation of a process. One particular experiment involves an RC circuit with a half-life of t₁/2life needs to be extended. He asks you to change the resistance of the circuit to make the half-life longer. All you can find in the supply room is a single 35.0old to extend the half-life of the circuit. Determine the new half-life (in s).= 3.00 s. Your supervisor is concerned that the initiation of the process is occurring too soon and that the half-resistor. You look at the RC circuit and see that the resistance is 26.0 0. You combine the new resistor with the

A defibrillator is designed to pass a large current through a patient’s torso in order to stop dangerous heart rhythms. Its key part is a capacitor that is charged to a high voltage. The patient’s torso plays the role of a resistor in an RC circuit. When a switch is closed, the capacitor discharges through the patient’s torso. A jolt from a defibrillator is intended to be intense and rapid; the maximum current is very large, so the capacitor discharges quickly. This rapid pulse depolarizes the heart, stopping all electrical activity. This allows the heart’s internal nerve circuitry to reestablish a healthy rhythm.A typical defibrillator has a 32 μF capacitor charged to 5000 V. The electrodes connected to the patient are coated with a conducting gel that reduces the resistance of the skin to where the effective resistance of the patient’s torso is 100 Ω. If a patient receives a series of jolts, the resistance of the torso may increase. How does such a change affect the initial current…
