[Hot Item] Designed for Defibrillator Metallized Film Capacitor

The ability of a capacitor to store potential energy is the basis of defibrillator devices, which are used by emergency teams to stop the fibrillation of heart attack victims (Fig. 25.40). In the portable version, a battery charges a capacitor to a high potential difference, storing a large amount of energy in less than a minute. The battery maintains only a modest potential difference; an electronic circuit repeatedly uses that potential difference to greatly increase the potential difference o
