A heart defibrillator is used to enable the heart to start beating if it has stopped. This is done by passing a large current of12Athrough the body at25Vfor a very short time, usually3.0msabout . (a) What power does the defibrillator deliver to the body, and (b) how much energy is transferred ?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The power delivered by the defibrillator to the body is300V.
  2. The energy transferred to the body is0.90J.

Step by step solution

01

Concept/Significance of maximum power transfer.

As the load resistance is equal to the network's resistance when seen from output terminals with all energy sources removed and only the network's internal resistance remaining, maximum power transfer occurs.

02

(a) Determination of power delivered by the defibrillator to the body

Power delivered by the voltage source is given by,

P=IV

Here,I is the current passed through the body and V is the potential at which current is passed.

Substitute all the values in the above,

P=12A25V=300V

Thus, the power deliver by the defibrillator to the body is300V.

03

(b) Determination of the energy transferred to the body

The energy transferred is given by,

E=Pt

Here, P is the power delivered by the defibrillator and t is the time taken.

Substitute all the values in the above,

E=300W3×10-3S=0.90J

Thus, the energy transferred to the body is0.90J.

Two copper wires with different diameter are joined end to end. If a current flow in the wire combination, what happens to electrons when they move from the large diameter wire into the smaller diameter wire? Does their drift speed increase, decrease, or stay the same? If the drift speed change, what is the role the force that causes the change? Explain your reasoning.

Lightning Strikes. During lightning strikes from a cloud to the

ground, currents as high as 25,000 A can occur and last for about 40 ms.

How much charge is transferred from the cloud to the earth during such a

strike?
