A defibrillator passes a brief burst of current through the heart to restore normal beating. In one such defibrillator, a 50.0 µF capacitor is charged to 6.0 kV. Paddles are used to make an electrical connection to the patient's chest. A pulse of current lasting 1.0 ms partially discharges the capacitor through the patient. The electrical resistance of the patient (from paddle to paddle) is 210 . What is the initial current through the patient?
