Expert Solution
Step 1
Given that the cauterizer used to stop bleeding in surgery puts out current (I)=1.98mA=1.98×10-3A at Voltage (V)=16.5kv=16.5×103v
We know that,
Power=(voltage)×(current)
or, power (p)=VI
Putting the values of voltage and current we get
Power (p)=16.5×103×1.98×10-3
Power (p)=32.67 w.
So, the power output of the cauterizer is 32.67 watt.
