The figure below shows a simplified model of a cardiac defibrillator, a device used to resuscitate
patients in ventricular fibrillation.
S
R
Rorso
+
The capacitor C charge through the resistor R (when the switch S is toggled to left) and discharge
current through the patient's torso which is of resistance (when the switch S is toggled to right). This
phenomenon allows the heart's normal rhythm to be reestablished.
(a) If the capacitor is initially uncharged with C = 7.0 µF; ɛ = 1240 V, find the value of R (in ohms)
required to charge the capacitor to a voltage of 800 V in 2.1 s.
(b) If the capacitor is then discharged across the patient's torso with Rtorso = 1200 Q, calculate the
voltage (in V) across the capacitor after 4.0 ms.
