Question

Map d A heart defibrillator passes 10.5 A through a patient's torso for 5.00 ms in an attempt to restore normal beating. How much charge passed through the torso? Number What voltage was applied if 525 J of energy was dissipated by the current in the patient's body? Number What was the effective resistance of the patient's torso? Number Find the average resulting temperature increase of the 7.75 kg of affected tissue. Assume that the human body has a specific heat of about 3.50 × 103 J/(kg·). Number

Explanation / Answer

charge=10.5X5/1000 C

voltage=(energy/time)(current)= 525X(1000/5)X 10.5

calculating we will get the answer.
