If a charge of 0.30 C passes through a person’s chest in 1.0 s, the heart can go into ventricular fibrillation—anonrhythmic “fluttering” of the ventricles that results in little or noblood being pumped to the body. If this rate of charge transfer persists for 4.5 s, how many electrons pass through the chest?
In the return stroke of a typical lightning bolt, a current of 2.5 *104 A exists for 20 ms. How much charge is transferred in this event?
Lightning occurs when there is a flow of electric charge (principally electrons) between the ground and a thundercloud. The maximum rate of charge flow in a lightning bolt is about 20,000 C/s; this lasts for 100 ms or less. How much charge flows between the ground and the cloud in this time? How many electrons flow during this time?

In order to reduce fuel usage to meet with newly imposed fuel-consumption regulations, you are hoping to use the electric interaction between charges to your advantage. You have decided on the design below. You are able to place two Q = 1.98 C charges in the rocket ship and into the launching platform so that they are separated by a distance of yo = 2.93 m. You are allowed enough fuel to boost the rocket to an initial speed of vo = 309 m/s without accounting for the extra boost from the charges. The rocket on its own has a mass of 2.095x104 kg. The more equipment you can attach to your weather balloon (which is inside the rocket), the better. What limit do you put on the mass of the weather balloon and attached equipment?
