Using the exact exponential treatment, find how much time is required to charge an initially uncharged 100-pF capacitor through a 75.0-M resistor to 90.0% of its final voltage.
Integrated Concepts A short circuit to the grounded metal case of an appliance occurs as shown in Figure 23.60. The person touching the case is wet and only has a 3.00 k(resistance to earth/ground. (a) What is the voltage on the case if 5.00 mA flows through the person? (b) What is the current in the short circuit if the resistance of the earth/ground wire is 0.200 ? (c) Will this trigger the 20.0 A circuit breaker supplying the appliance? Figure 23.60 A person can be shocked even when the case of an appliance is grounded. The large short circuit current produces a voltage on the case of the appliance, since the resistance of the earth/ground wire is not zero.
Integrated Concepts Use the ECG in Figure 20.34 to determine the heart rate in beats per minute assuming a constant time between beats.

During open-heart surgery, a defibrillator can be used to bring a patient out of cardiac arrest. The resistance of the path is 500 and a 10.0-mA current is needed. What voltage should be applied?
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?
