A defibrillator delivers a jolt of electrical energy to restart
a heart that is either stopped or undergoing ventricular
defibrillation -- a rapid irregular beating. This energy is
supplied by a charged capacitor and applied via paddles placed on a
patient's body(one on each side of the heart). Consider a 20.7 μF
capacitor charged to 2210 V in a defibrillator and used on a
patient. After 9.85×10-2 seconds the voltage across the
defibrillator's paddles drops to 49.6 V.
Find the effective resistance of the body between the
defibrillators paddles. Hint: assume the voltage across the paddles
is the same as the voltage stored on the capacitor.

Assume the average home requires an electrical power of 1.2kW, an average life expectancy of 75 years, and only power from nuclear energy. For such a homeowner, what would be the lifetime generation of vitrified high level waste (HLW) in kg and liters (assuming reprocessing and recycling of U and Pu). the vitrified waste containers in France hold the HLW equivalent of 1.5 fuel recycled assemblies with an energy production of 1 TWh (1E+12 Wh). Compare this to some common size object such as a soda can for ease of conversation. Of course, this ignores other energy needs/requirements for such a person. Explain. How might nuclear power be used to meet these needs also?

Suppose two parallel lines of current are 0.85A and 0.35A in the same direction, with the centers of their wires 21cm apart. A -2.04nC particle is fired at 3500m/s in the same direction as both lines of current exactly in between the lines of current.
a. Find the force that acts on the particle and in which direction. If a coordinate system will help, you may assume the currents and particle are in the +x direction and the currents lie in the xy plane.
b. Find the elctric field, magnitude, and direction that would allow the particle to continue to move parallel to the wires.
Thanks in advance! :) Please show all work!
