Chapter 7, Problem 10C
A defibrillator sends approximately 0.1 C of charge through a patient’s chest in about 2 ms. The average voltage during the discharge is approximately 3,000 V Compute the average current that flows, the average power output, and the total energy consumed (Note: Only a small portion of this current actually flows through the heart in a typical fibrillating procedure. Much of the charge is diffused throughout the patient’s thoracic cavity).

- Four resistors (R1=A ohms, R2=B ohms, R3= C ohms, R4=D ohms) are connected in parallel. Find the current in R2 if the total voltage is 220 V. If the total voltage in the previous item is the potential difference between the two plates of a parallel plate capacitor, what is the capacitance if the amount of charge in one plate is A nanocoulombs?arrow_forwardPlethysmographs are devices used for measuring changes in the volume of internal organs or limbs. In one form of this device, a rubber capillary tube with an inside diameter of 1.00 mm is filled with mercury at 20.0°C. The resistance of the mercury is measured with the aid of electrodes sealed into the ends of the tube. If 100 cm of the tube is wound in a helix around a patient’s upper arm, the blood flow during a heartbeat causes the arm to expand, stretching the length of the tube by 0.040 0 cm. From this observation and assuming cylindrical symmetry, you can find the change in volume of the arm, which gives an indication of blood flow. Taking the resistivity of mercury to be 9.58 x 10-7 Ω ⋅ m, calculate (a) the resistance of the mercury and (b) the fractional change in resistance during the heartbeat. Hint: The fraction by which the cross-sectional area of the mercury column decreases is the fraction by which the length increases because the volume of mercury is constant.arrow_forwardIn measuring a voltage, a voltmeter uses some current from the circuit. Consequently, the voltage measured is only an approximation to the voltage present when the voltmeter is not connected. Consider a circuit consisting of two 1760- resistors connected in series across a 50.0-V battery. (a) Find the voltage across one of the resistors. (b) A voltmeter has a full-scale voltage of 50.0 V and uses a galvanometer with a full-scale deflection of 6.85 mA. Determine the voltage that this voltmeter registers when it is connected across the resistor used in part (a). ww R Voltmeter Ry F V Rarrow_forward

Given that the light bulb is connected to a 6.0 volt battery, calculate the current through the wire. A 10 Ohm resistor is now connected in parallel with the light bulb in the circuit with the same battery. What is the new current in the circuit? What happens to the circuit if the temperature goes beyond 20 degrees?arrow_forwardYou are given the job of evaluating potential power line systems. One system is designed to operate at V = 3000 V, and another would operate at V = 6500 V. Suppose the power line at the higher voltage would dissipate 3 % of the power that it carries. What percentage of the power would be dissipated in the low-voltage power line?arrow_forwardTo find the internal resistance and emf of a battery, it is connnected across different loads (resistances) while the terminal voltage across the battery and the current delivered by the battery are measured. When the terminal voltage is 2.86 V, a current of 181 mA flows and when the terminal voltage is 2.81 V, a current of 371 mA. What are the emf and internal resistance of the battery?arrow_forward
