Question

Part A Electric eels generate electric pulses along their skin that can be used to stun an enemy when they come into contact with it. Tests have shown that these pulses can be up to 502 V and produce currents of 77.0 mA (or even larger). A typical pulse lasts for 12.0 ms What power is delivered to the unfortunate enemy with a single pulse, assuming a steady current? Submit Reguest Answer Part B How much energy is delivered to the untortunate enemy with a single pulse, assuming a steady current? E= Submit

Explanation / Answer

voltage = v = 502 v

current = i = 77 x 10^-3 amp

time = t =12 x10^-3 sec

a) power p = v x i = 502 * 77 x10^-3 = 38.6 w

b) energy = p x t = 38.6 * 12x10^-3 = 463 .2 x 10^-3 joules
