An electric eel generates electric currents through itshighly specialized Hunter’s organ, in which thousands ofdisk - shaped cells called electrocytes are lined up in series, verymuch in the same way batteries are lined up inside a flashlight.When activated, each electrocyte can maintain a potential differenceof about 150 mV at a current of 1.0 A for about 2.0 ms.Suppose a grown electric eel has 4.0 X 103 electrocytes and candeliver up to 3.00 X 102 shocks in rapid series over about 1.0 s.(a) What maximum electrical power can an electric eel generate?(b) Approximately how much energy does it release in oneshock? (c) How high would a mass of 1.0 kg have to be lifted sothat its gravitational potential energy equals the energy releasedin 3.00 x 102 such shocks?

Microscopic view of current

In physics, the term current is expressed as the rate of flow of electric charges across the area per unit time (I=q/t). It propagates along in the direction of the motion of positive charges. When the current is caused by the motion of electrons, the direction of the current is opposite to the flow.
