Cardiac defibrillators are discussed in Section 17-9.
(a) Choose a value for the resistance so that the 1.0-μF capacitor can be charged to 3000 V in 2.0 seconds. Assume that this 3000 V is 95%of the full source voltage.
(b) The effective resistance of the human body is given in Section 19-7. If the defibrillator discharges with a time constant of 10 ms, what is the effective capacitance of the human body?
