An asynchronous cardiac pacemaker operates at a rate of 70 pulses/min. These pulses are of 2ms duration and have an amplitude of 5V when driving a 500ohm load.
A) What is the total energy supplied to this load over a 10 year period?
B)Suppose that 35% of the energy from the power supply goes into the output pulses. What must be the capabilities of the power supply to operate the pacemaker for 10years?
C) Assume that the power supply is TWO 2.8V lithium cells. What must the milliampere-hour capacity of EACH cell be to operate this pacemaker for 10 years?
