A heart defibrillator is used to enable the heart to start beating if it has stopped. This is done by passing a large current of12Athrough the body at25Vfor a very short time, usually3.0msabout . (a) What power does the defibrillator deliver to the body, and (b) how much energy is transferred ?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The power delivered by the defibrillator to the body is300V.
  2. The energy transferred to the body is0.90J.

Step by step solution

01

Concept/Significance of maximum power transfer.

As the load resistance is equal to the network's resistance when seen from output terminals with all energy sources removed and only the network's internal resistance remaining, maximum power transfer occurs.

02

(a) Determination of power delivered by the defibrillator to the body

Power delivered by the voltage source is given by,

P=IV

Here,I is the current passed through the body and V is the potential at which current is passed.

Substitute all the values in the above,

P=12A25V=300V

Thus, the power deliver by the defibrillator to the body is300V.

03

(b) Determination of the energy transferred to the body

The energy transferred is given by,

E=Pt

Here, P is the power delivered by the defibrillator and t is the time taken.

Substitute all the values in the above,

E=300W3×10-3S=0.90J

Thus, the energy transferred to the body is0.90J.

Small aircraft often have 24 V electrical systems rather than the 12 V systems in automobiles, even though the electrical power requirements are roughly the same in both applications. The explanation given by aircraft designers is that a 24 V system weighs less than a 12 V system because thinner wires can be used. Explain why this is so.

In a cyclotron, the orbital radius of protons with energy 300keVis 16.0cm. You are redesigning the cyclotron to be used instead for alpha particles with energy 300keV. An alpha particle has chargeq=+2e and mass m=6.64×10-27kg. If the magnetic filed isn't changed, what will be the orbital radius of the alpha particles?

A light bulb glows because it has resistance. The brightness of a light bulb increases with the electrical power dissipated in the bulb. (a) In the circuit shown in Fig. Q25.14a, the two bulbs A and B are identical. Compared to bulb A, does bulb B glow more brightly, just as brightly, or less brightly? Explain your reasoning. (b) Bulb B is removed from the circuit and the circuit is completed as shown in Fig. Q25.14b. Compared to the brightness of bulb A in Fig. Q25.14a, does bulb A now glow more brightly, just as brightly, or less brightly? Explain your reasoning

A particle of mass 0.195 g carries a charge of-2.50×10-8C. The particle is given an initial horizontal velocity that is due north and has magnitude4.00×104m/s. What are the magnitude and direction of the minimum magnetic field that will keepthe particle moving in the earth’s gravitational field in the samehorizontal, northward direction?

An alpha particle (a He nucleus containing two protons and two neutrons and having a mass of 6.64×10-7kg) travelling horizontally at 35.6km/senter a uniform, vertical,1.80-T magnetic field.(a) What is the diameter of the path followed by this alpha particle? (b) what effect does the magnetic field have on the speed of the particle? (c) What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the alpha particle while it is in the magnetic field? (d) explain why the speed of the particle does not change even though an unbalanced external force acts on it.
