If you double the voltage across a certain material and you observe that the current through the material triples then you can conclude that a) Ohm's law was obeyed because the current increases as the voltage increases, b) Ohm's law was not obeyed, or c) this situation has nothing de with Ohm's law

A defibrillator sends approximately 0.1 C of charge through a patients 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 fibrillating procedure. Much of the charge is diffused throughout the patients thoracic cavity).
