What is the resistance of the path (through the wire and the body)? -aira R= (b) The defibrillator paddles make contact with the patient through a conducting gel that greatly reduces the path resistance. To understand the importance of using the gel, discuss the difficulties that would ensue if a larger voltage were used to produce the same current through the patient, but with the path having perhaps 50 times the resistance by finding the ratio, P no-gel P gel e- ΚΩ (Hint: The current must be about the same, so a higher voltage would imply greater power. Use this equation for power: P = PR.) What difficulties arise when no gel is used? a. The voltage is too high for the human body even when the current is the same. b. There is a risk of skin burns because of the high power deposited.arrow_forwardonly 3arrow_forward
- 5) We usually think of wires as perfect (R=0) conductors, which is not quite accurate. Real wires have resistance, and an effort is made to keep this resistance small- usually less than an ohm. This behavior rarely becomes an issue with low power lab circuits. However, it is a big issue with power distribution systems as you will see in ENGR202. a. Design a uniform cylindrical wire that has a resistance of 25 m2 and uses $1 worth of copper. What are the length and diameter of your wire? Note: You can find the resistivity of copper in your textbook, and you should assume that copper costs $2.69 per pound. b. This wire is cut in half, and the two strands are used to power a toaster from an outlet supplying 1800W at 120V. The toaster can be modeled as a pure resistive load. Draw a simple circuit diagram, including the voltage source, resistors to represent the power cord wires, and the calculated resistance of the toaster. C.

When a standard cell with emf V = 6V, in series with a voltmeter, is connected at one end of the wire and at a distance L = 4 cm along the wire the voltmeter circuit is in balance and the voltmeter reads zero. When the standard cell is replaced by a source of unknown emf the new balance length is found to be 6 cm. What is the unknown emf?

As already mentioned, this is known as a make-before-break switch and is designed so that the switch does not interrupt the current in an inductive circuit. The interval of time between "making" and "breaking" is assumed to be negligible. The switch has been in the a position for a long time. At t = 0 the switch is thrown from position a to position b. What percentage of the initial energy stored in the inductor is dissipated in the 90 Ω resistor 1.2 ms after the switch is thrown from position a to position b?arrow_forward
