Two concentric, metal spherical shells of radii a = 4.0 cm and b = 8.0 cm are separated by aluminum as shown in Figure P28.33. The inner sphere has a total charge Q at any time. If the two spheres are maintained at a potential difference of 2.0 V via an external source, calculate the current from one sphere to the other.
(a) A defibrillator sends a 6.00-A current through the chest of a patient by applying a 10,000-V potential as in the figure below. What is the resistance of the path? (b) The defibrillator paddles make contact with the patient through a conducting gel that greatly reduces the path resistance. Discuss the difficulties that would ensue if a larger voltage were used to produce the same current through the patient, but with the path having perhaps 50 times the resistance. (Hint: The current must be about the same, so a higher voltage would imply greater power. Use this equation for power: P=I2 RP = .)
