Get started for freeA heart defibrillator is used to enable the heart to start beating if it has stopped. This is done by passing a large current ofthrough the body atfor a very short time, usuallyabout . (a) What power does the defibrillator deliver to the body, and (b) how much energy is transferred ?
Light Bulbs in Series and in Parallel. Two light bulbs have constant resistances of and . If the two light bulbs are connected in series across a line, find (a) the current through each bulb; (b) the power dissipated in each bulb; (c) the total power dissipated in both bulbs. The two light bulbs are now connected in parallel across theline. Find (d) the current through each bulb; (e) the power dissipated in each bulb; (f) the total power dissipated in both bulbs. (g) In each situation, which of the two bulbs glows the brightest? (h) In which situation is there a greater total light output from both bulbs combined?
Question: A high voltage dc power line falls on a car, so the entire metal body of the car is at a potential of with respect to the ground. What happens to the occupants (a) when they are sitting in the car and (b) when they step out of the car? Explain your reasoning.
