Igor the Mad Scientist is planning to reanimate a corpse (again). His plan is to capture energy
from a lightning bolt into a capacitor, and then to discharge the capacitor into the torso and
brain. The lower body is reanimated from a voltage supply. The electrical models of the body
parts are shown in the figure below. [NB: The corpse reanimation steps below are not
scientifically feasible or ethically acceptable, but make for an interesting tute.]
The steps for corpse re-animation are as follows:
Step 1: Capture a lightning strike into a discharged capacitor. The moment of the lightning
strike marks t = 0. The lightning strike has a duration of 200 ms, and creates a current i(t) =
1000(1 - 25+²) A for 0 < t < 0.2s.
Step 2: At t=2s, start discharging the capacitor across the torso.
Step 3: When the capacitor voltage falls to 1000 V, close the switch to discharge the capacitor
into the brain (through the neck bolts).
Step 4: At t=3s, close the switch to connect the legs to the 1000 V source.
Step 5: When the current reaches 500A, open the switch to disconnect the legs from the 1000 V
source.
Step 6: Once the leg current drops below 50 mA, and the capacitor voltage drops below 10 V
the corpse will come to life. Disconnect the cables and feed your new monster some tea and
cake.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/d9b167a7-8d7e-4b0a-9e96-ed1f3075a769/db9465b3-fd5d-4707-b86f-1062cd442461/ex7wx2s_processed.png)

Igor is using computer controlled switching for precise timing. He needs your help to work out
the right time for critical switching activities.
(a) Find the voltage of the capacitor after the lightning strike for 0.2 <t<2s.
(b) Find an expression for the capacitor voltage while the capacitor is discharging into the
torso only. When will the capacitor be sufficiently discharged to connect the capacitor to
the brain?
(c) When will the capacitor voltage fall below 10V?
(d) Find an expression for the leg current when the voltage source is connected to the legs.
When should the switch connecting the voltage source to the legs be opened?
(e) When will the leg current fall below 50mA?
(f) Based on your answer to (c) and (e), when will the corpse come to life? Specify the type of
cake to be used in Step 6.
