A defibrillator is used to restart a person's heart after it stops beating. Energy is delivered to the heart by discharging a capacitor through the body tissues near the heart. If the capacitance of the defibrillator is 8.00 µF and the energy delivered is to be 100 J, to what potential difference must the capacitor be charged?
I wasn't sure how to start this problem.
Would I need to use
U = qV
but where would the capacitance fit in?
thanks in advance
