Defibrillator discharges. need to find time constant
oh! I know what I did wrong now, I thought that micro was -9 instead of -6. Thanks! but which equations should I use for the other parts? I think for part c I can use C=Q/V and find the total charge. and for d I can do V=IR. But what about part b? Do I use Q=CVe^(-t/RC)? And plug in 1ms for t?- gujrichick

Defibrillator discharges. need to find time constant
Hi, I got 1.32*10^-5 seconds as my time constant.. and I don't understand how I would get a fraction from that or how that would help me answer the other questions.- gujrichick

Defibrillator discharges. need to find time constant
A defibrillator uses a capacitor to deliver a large current to a person needing heart stimulation. Assume that the capacitance used is 60microfarads and the resistor it discharges through is 220 ohms. the defibrillator is charged up to 5 kiloVolts and it is discharged through a patient for 1.0...- gujrichick
