If a charge of 0.30 C passes through a person’s chest in 1.0 s, the heart can go into ventricular fibrillation—anonrhythmic “fluttering” of the ventricles that results in little or noblood being pumped to the body. If this rate of charge transfer persists for 4.5 s, how many electrons pass through the chest?
In the return stroke of a typical lightning bolt, a current of 2.5 *104 A exists for 20 ms. How much charge is transferred in this event?
Lightning occurs when there is a flow of electric charge (principally electrons) between the ground and a thundercloud. The maximum rate of charge flow in a lightning bolt is about 20,000 C/s; this lasts for 100 ms or less. How much charge flows between the ground and the cloud in this time? How many electrons flow during this time?

She prepares her setup as follows; charges the ball with q= -9 x 10ªC, puts it on an insulating stand and uses two conducting parallel plates which are connected to a battery as shown in the figure. The circuit shown in red color is hidden in her glove, sleeve and beneath the insulating stand. The mass of the ball is m = 2.7g and she keeps her hand 15cm above the stand.

The charge and the mass of an alpha particle are q_a = 3.20×10−19 C and m_a = 6.68×10−27 kg , respectively. a)What is the value of the change in potential energy, ΔU=U_f−U_i, of the alpha particle? b)What is the final velocity of the alpha particle, (vf)αv_af? c)If you had carried out the algebra using variables before plugging numbers into your expressions, you would have found that (vf)α=−2qαΔVmα−−−−−−√ where ΔV is measured in volts. To verify that this expression for (vf)α has the correct units of velocity, you need to perform some unit analysis. Begin by finding the equivalent of a volt in terms of basic SI units.

If the path in which it travels is considered circular with a radius of 0.10 m then: Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field that the spectrometer uses. If, and in a hypothetical case, a secondary reaction occurs creating a second particle which is negatively charged, twice the mass of the isoflurane and travels at 1.8 ×103 m/s.
