When the defibrillator is in use, a potential difference of 4800 V is applied across the
person's chest.
A charge of 0.16 coulombs passes through the person's chest in 4.0 ms

If a defibrillator is in use with the given potential difference and charge in the given time, the resistance of the person's chest is 120 Ohms.

What is the resistance of the person's chest?

From Ohm’s law;

V = I × R

Where V is the voltage or potential difference, potential difference, I is the current and R is the resistance.

Given that;

  • Potential difference v = 4800V
  • Charge Q = 0.16C
  • Time elapsed t = 4.0ms = ( 4/1000 )s = 0.004s
  • Resistance R = ?

First, we calculate the current I.

Since current is the electric charge transferred per unit time.

I = Q/t

I = 0.16C / 0.004s

I = 40A

Now, the resistance of the person's chest will be;

V = I × R

R = V / I

R = 4800V / 40A

R = 120Ω

Therefore, If a defibrillator is in use with the given potential difference and charge in the given time, the resistance of the person's chest is 120 Ohms.
