Electroconvulsive therapy is a last-line treatment for certain mental disorders. In this treatment, an electric current is passed directly through the brain, inducing seizures. The total charge that passes through the brain is called the dose. In a typical session, a dose of 0.093 C is applied, using a pulse of current that lasts 1.0 ms. What is the current during this pulse?

Current has a heating effect due to the law of conservation of energy. A sealed container containing ice is connected across a supply having a voltage V. If the current / is flowing through the connection, which of the following equations can solve the time needed to change the ice to water? Let m be the mass of the ice and Lfbe the latent heat of fusion of the ice. Ot = VImLf VI t = mLf t = VI O The answer cannot be found on the other choices.
Current has a heating effect due to the law of conservation of energy. A sealed container containing a liquid is connected across a supply having a voltage V.

You heard a story that a person who fell from the sixth floor of a building was able to survive. The individual caught the wire of a copper electronic line. He wasn't electrocuted, although being in contact with an exposed live wire. The wire was able to reduce his speed before finally hitting the ground. Create a scientific explanation if such an event is possible or not.
