A close analogy exists between the flow of energy by heat because of a temperature difference (see Section 19.6) and the flow of electric charge because of a potential difference. In a metal, energy dQ and electrical charge dq are both transported by free electrons. Consequently, a good electrical conductor is usually a good thermal conductor as well. Consider a thin conducting slab of thickness dx, area A, and electrical conductivity , with a potential difference dV between opposite faces. (a) Show that the current I = dq/dt is given by the equation on the left: ChargeconductionThermalconductiondqdt=A|dVdx|dQdt=kA|dTdx| In the analogous thermal conduction equation on the right (Eq. 19.17), the rate dQ/dt of energy flow by heat (in SI units of joules per second) is due to a temperature gradient dT/dx in a material of thermal conductivity k. (b) State analogous rules relating the direction of the electric current to the change in potential and relating the direction of energy flow to the change in temperature.
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).

Earth’s lower atmosphere contains negative and positive ions that are produced by radioactive elements in the soil and cosmic rays from space. In a certain region, the atmospheric electric field strength is 120 V/m and the field is directed vertically down.This field causes singly charged positive ions, at a density of 620 cm3, to drift downward and singly charged negative ions, at a density of 550 cm3, to drift upward. The measured conductivity of the air in that region is 2.70 * 10-14 (ohmm)-1. Calculate (a) the magnitude of the current density and (b) the ion drift speed, assumed to be the same for positive and negative ions.
