Question
A heart defibrillator being used on a patient has an RC time constant of 17.0 ms due to the resistance of the patient and the capacitance of the defibrillator.
(a) If the defibrillator has a 7.40 µF capacitance, what is the resistance (in kΩ) of the path through the patient? (You may neglect the capacitance of the patient and the resistance of the defibrillator.)
(in kΩ)
(b) If the initial voltage is 12.0 kV, how long (in ms) does it take to decline to 5.80 ✕ 102 V?
(in ms)
