Integrated Concepts If you wish to take a picture of a bullet traveling at 500 m/s, then a very brief flash of light produced by an RC discharge through a flash tube can limit blurring. Assuming 1.00 mm of motion during one RC constant is acceptable, and given that the flash is driven by a 600F capacitor, what is the resistance in the flash tube?
An electronic apparatus may have large capacitors at high voltage in the power supply section, presenting a shock hazard even when the apparatus is switched off. A “bleeder resistor" is therefore placed across such a capacitor, as shown schematically in Figure 21.50, to bleed the charge from it after the apparatus is off. Why must the bleeder resistance be much greater than the effective resistance of the rest of the circuit? How does this affect the time constant for discharging the capacitor?
Consider the circuit below, (a) What is the initial current through resistor R2? when the switch is closed? (b) What is die current through resistor R2 when the capacitor is fully charged, long after die switch is closed? (c) What happens if the switch is opened after it has been closed for some rime? (d) If the switch has been closed for a time period long enough for the capacitor to become fully charged, and then the switch is opened, how long before the current through resistor R1 reaches half of its initial value?

A 2.00- and a 7.50-F capacitor can be connected in series or parallel, as can a 25.0- and a 100k resistor. Calculate the four RC time constants possible from connecting the resulting capacitance and resistance in series.
Integrated Concepts Use the ECG in Figure 20.34 to determine the heart rate in beats per minute assuming a constant time between beats. Figure 20.34 A lead II ECG with corresponding arterial blood pressure. The QRS complex is created by the depolarization and contraction of the ventricles and is followed shortly by the maximum or systolic blood pressure. See text for further description.

A young man owns a canister vacuum cleaner marked 535 W [at] 120 V and a Volkswagen Beetle, which he wishes to clean. He parks the car in his apartment parking lot and uses an inexpensive extension cord 15.0 m long to plug in the vacuum cleaner. You may assume the cleaner has constant resistance, (a) If the resistance of each of the two conductors in the extension cord is 0.900 , what is the actual power delivered to the cleaner? (b) If instead the power is to be at least 525 W, what must be the diameter of each of two identical copper conductors in the cord he buys? (c) Repeat part (b) assuming the power is to be at least 532 W.
