The figure (Figure 1) shows a simplified circuit for a photographic flash unit. This circuit consists of a 9.0-V battery, a 50.0 kΩ resistor, a 140−μF capacitor, a flashbulb, and two switches. Initially, the capacitor is uncharged and the two switches are open. To charge the unit, switch S1 is closed; to fire the flash, switch S2 (which is connected to the camera's shutter) is closed.
How long does it take to charge the capacitor to 5.0 V?
While the switch is open, denote the energy stored in capacitor C1 with U0. After the switch has been closed for a long time, denote the energy stored in C1 with U1. Find the ratio U0/U1. Assume R1=1.87 ohm.

- The immediate cause of many deaths is ventricular fibrillation, an uncoordinated quivering of the heart, as opposed to proper beating. An electric shock to the chest can cause momentary paralysis of the heart muscle, after which the heart will sometimes start organized beating again. A defibrillator is a device that applies a strong electric shock to the chest over a time of a few milliseconds. The device contains a capacitor of a few microfarads, charged to several thousand volts. Electrodes called paddles, about 8 cm across and coated with conducting paste, are held against the chest on both sides of the heart. Their handles are insulated to prevent injury to the operator, who calls Clear! and pushes a button on one paddle to discharge the capacitor through the patient's chest Assume an energy of 3.00 102 W s is to be delivered from a 30.0-F capacitor.
