A 40 μF capacitor is a defibrillator is charged to 3000 V The energy stored in the capacitance is sent through the patient during a pulse of duration 3 ms. The power delivered to the patient is

a
45 kW
b
90 kW
c
180 kW
d
360 kW

detailed solution

Correct option is B

P=Wt= electrostatic potential energy  time ∴P=12CV2t=12×40×10−6×(3000)22×10−3=90×103W=90kW.
