Electric eels generate electric pulses along their skin that can be used to stun an enemy when they come into contact with it

Subject:PhysicsPrice:2.87 Bought7

Electric eels generate electric pulses along their skin that can be used to stun an enemy when they come into contact with it. Tests have shown that these pulses can be up to 515V and produce currents of 76.0mA (or even larger). A typical pulse lasts for 12.0ms .

 

A)What power is delivered to the unfortunate enemy with a single pulse, assuming a steady current?

P= ........ W

 

B) How much energy is delivered to the unfortunate enemy with a single pulse, assuming a steady current?

E= ....... J

Answer

A. power = Vi

P= 515* 0.076

= 39.14 Watts

 

b. power = eenrgy/time

eenrgy   = power * time

= 39.14* 0.012

= 0.469 Joules
