Question
The energy in the capacitor is delivered by placing paddles on either side of the victim's heart as shown in the figure. The defibrillator delivers the charge stored in the capacitor through the paddles, hopefully resetting the heart so it can begin beating normally.
The charge is delivered in a sudden pulse that lasts about 100 ms. What is the average current flowing through the body?
‹I› = _____ A
What is the rate at which the energy stored in the capacitor is transferred to the body? This is the average power output of the defibrillator.
‹P› = _____ W
What is the effective resistance of the body along the path that the current takes?
Reff = _____ Ω

- While tracking the speed of individual particles is great, a more useful and simpler quantity to measure is current which is the amount of charges moving through some cross-sectional area per unit time. It has units of Coulombs per second (or Amps} and is abbreviated by the symbol i. See if you can write out a formula for the current through a section of wire with cross sectional area A given the average speed of particles v, the charge on each particle, q, and the number of charges per unit volume, n.
