Electricity can be a hazard in hospitals, particularly to patients who are connected to
Chapter 19, Problem 19.70(choose chapter or problem)
Electricity can be a hazard in hospitals, particularly to patients who are connected to electrodes, such as an ECG. Suppose that the motor of a motorized bed shorts out to the bed frame, and the bed frames connection to a ground has broken (or was not there in the first place). If a nurse touches the bed and the patient at the same time, the nurse becomes a conductor and a complete circuit can be made through the patient to ground through the ECG apparatus. This is shown schematically in Fig. 1975. Calculate the current through the patient.
