Answer:
=33 .3×10^6Ω
=33.3M Ω
Explanation:
We were told to calculate the Resistance value,
Given the heart pacemaker fires as 72 times a minute, which is the time constant
Then we can convert the pacemaker fires of 72 times a minute to seconds for unit consistency.
1 minutes= 60secs
Then ,Time constant τ=60secs/72=0.8333 seconds
Time constant τ can be calculated using the formula below
τ= RC
Where R= resistance
C = capacitance
Then making RESISTANCE subject of formula we have
R=τ/C
But Capacitance=25.0-nF = 25×10^25F
Substitute the values we have
R=0.833/25×10^25
=33 .3×10^6 Ω
But can still be converted to M Ω= 33.3M Ω
Therefore, the resistance is 33 .3×10^6 Ω or 33.3M Ω
NOTE: 1M= 10^6
The value of the resistance will be "3.33×10⁷ Ω".
According to the question,
Capacitor, C = 25.0 nF
60 sec - 72 fires
now,
Time for 1 fire,
[tex]t = \frac{60}{72}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{5}{6} \ sec[/tex]
Now,
⇒ [tex]V = V_0 (1-e^{-\frac{t}{RC} })[/tex]
[tex]0.632 V_0=V_0(1-e^{\frac{-\frac{5}{6} }{R.25 n C} })[/tex]
[tex]e^{-\frac{1}{R\times 30\times 10^{-9}} } = 1-0.632 = 0.368[/tex]
[tex]= 2.72[/tex]
By taking "log" both sides,
⇒ [tex]ln \ e^{\frac{1}{R\times 30\times 10^{-9}} } = ln \ 2.72[/tex]
hence,
The Resistance be:
⇒ [tex]R = \frac{10^9}{30}[/tex]
[tex]= 3.33\times 10^7 \ \Omega[/tex]
Thus the above approach is right.
