Question:

A defibrillator sends approximately 0.1 C of charge through a patient’s chest in about 2 ms. The average voltage during the discharge is approximately 3,000 V. Compute the average current that flows, the average power output, and the total energy consumed (Note: Only a small portion of this current actually flows through the heart in a typical defibrillating procedure. Much of the charge is diffused throughout the patient’s thoracic cavity.
