    . A defibrillator sends 12 A of current through a patient’s torso for 3.0x10^ - 3 seconds. A) If this pulse of current deposited 300 J of energy in the patient during that time, what was the voltage during that time? (Think about power.) (Answer: 8.3x10 3 V) B) What is the resistance of the current’s path through the patient? (Answer: 690 ohms ) The correct answers are given. I just don't know how to get there. Thank you in...

    A defibrillator passes a brief burst of current through the heart to restore normal beating. In one such defibrillator, a 59.5 µF capacitor is charged to 5.6 kV. Paddles are used to make an electrical connection to the patient's chest. A pulse of current lasting 1.0 ms partially discharges the capacitor through the patient. The electrical resistance of the patient (from paddle to paddle) is 226 Ω. (a) What is the initial energy stored in the capacitor? J (b) What...

    A defibrillator passes a brief burst of current through the heart to restore normal beating. In one such defibrillator, a 40.6-μF capacitor is charged to 5.90 kV. Paddles are used to make an electric connection to the patient’s chest. A pulse of current lasting 1.00 ms partially discharges the capacitor through the patient. The electrical resistance of the patient (from paddle to paddle) is 240 Ω. What is the initial energy stored in the capacitor?
