A heart defibrillato passes a 12A current through a patient's torso for 3E-3 seconds to restore it to normal beating.
a. How much charge passed through the patient's body?
b. What voltage was used if a total energy of 300J was dissipated? by the current
c. What was the resistance of the path through the person?
For a I know that the current is I and I have the time and I need to figure out Q but I do not have any equations that have all three of those variables in it so I am stuck on what equation to even start with.
For b I am struggling with the same problem. I know that Voltage is equal to the current x resistance but I do not know where the energy comes into place
I know the resistance is the resistivity/A is A the area? How would I figure that out then?
Any help would be appreciated!
