Problem 32CQ

When making an ECG measurement, it is important to measure voltage variations over small time intervals. The time is limited by the RC constant of the circuit—it is not possible to measure time variations shorter than RC . How would you manipulate R and C in the circuit to allow the necessary measurements?

ANSWER:

Solution 32CQ

Step 1 of 2

The discharging of the capacitor is governed by,

 V= V0e 

Here, V0 is the voltage across the capacitor when it is charged to the maximum, t is the time from the initiation of discharging,R is the resistance in the circuit and C is the value of capacitance of the capacitor.
