Chapter 23, Problem 56GP
For the real battery shown in Figure P23.55, calculate the power dissipated by a resistor R connected to the battery when (a) R = 0.25 Ω, (b) R = 0.50 Ω, (c) R = 1.0 Ω, (d) R = 2.0 Ω, and (e) R = 4.0 Ω. (Your results should suggest that maximum power dissipation is achieved when the external resistance R equals the internal resistance. This is true in general.)

Patients with recurring ventricular arrhythmia, irregular beats of the heart's ventricles, are often fitted with implantable cardioverter defibrillators
(ICD) that monitor the beating of the patient's heart. Much like an external defibrillator, an ICD delivers up to 40.0 J of energy to the heart when
irregular heartbeat is detected. A standard ICD contains a 3.2 V lithium ion battery and has an equivalent capacitance of 140 µF.
(a) What is the charge (in C) stored on the fully charged capacitor in an ICD?
0.106

(b) What should the internal resistance (in 2) of the charging circuit in the ICD be if the capacitor is to attain 94.9% of its maximum charge within
1.75 s?

How does the charge of a capacitor increase as it is being charged? What is the desired percentage of the total charge after the time interval
specified in the problem?
