Question

Problem 7P

BIO Pacemaker Batteries Pacemakers designed for long term use commonly employ a lithium-iodine battery capable of

supplying 0.42 A · h of charge,

(a) How many coulombs of charge can such a battery supply?

(b) If the average current produced by the pacemaker is 5.6 μ A, what is the expected lifetime of the device?

Solution

Step 1 of 3

(a)

Here we need to find the amount of charge in coulombs, a Pacemaker Batteries can supply if it supplies  of charge.

Change flown can be written as,

…….1

Using

                                        

Since

                                        

                        Therefore,  the amount of charge in coulombs is 1512.
