A electric eel generates electric currents through its


An electric eel generates electric currents through its highly specialized Hunter's organ, in which thousands of disk-shaped cellscalled electrocytes are lined up in series, very much in the sameway batteries are lined up inside a flashlight. When activated,each electrocyte can maintain a potential difference of about 150mV at a current of 1 A for about 2.0 ms. Suppose a grown electriceel has 4.4*103 electrocytes and can deliver up to 300shocks in rapid series over about 1 s.

a) What maximum electrical power can anelectric eel generate?
b) Approximately how much energy does it release in two shocks?
c) How high would a mass of 9 kg have tobe lifted so that its gravitational potential energy equals theenergy released in 300 such shocks?
