A heart defibrillator being used on a patient has an ??R⁢C time constant of 10.0 ms due to the resistance of the patient and the capacitance of the defibrillator. If the defibrillator has an 8.00-?μF capacitance, what is the resistance of the path through the patient? (You may neglect the capacitance of the patient and the resistance of the defibrillator.)
