A defibrillator is a device used to shock the heart back to normal beat patterns. To do this, it discharges a 15 μF capacitor through paddles placed on the skin, causing charge to flow through the heart. Assume that the capacitor is originally charged with 5.0 kV .

Part A

What is the charge initially stored on the capacitor?

3×10−9 C
7.5×104 C
7.5×10−2 C

7.5×10−5 C

Part B

What is the energy stored on the capacitor?

What is the energy stored on the capacitor?

1.9×108 J
380 J
190 J

1.9×10−4 J

Part C

If the resistance between the two paddles is 100 Ω when the paddles are placed on the skin of the patient, how much current ideally flows through the patient when the capacitor starts to discharge?

5×105 A
50 A
2×10−2 A

5×10−2 A

Part D

If a defibrillator passes 17 A of current through a person in 90 μs . During this time, how much charge moves through the patient?

If a defibrillator passes 17 {\rm A} of current through a person in 90 {\rm \mu s} . During this time, how much charge moves through the patient?

190 mC
1.5 C
1.5 mC
17 C
