where T = period

Hertz

20
Q

If HR = 120 beats per minute, calculate frequency.

21
Q

Period (T) can also be measured on a graph as distance from ____________.

A

peak-to-peak

22
Q

Coulomb’s Law =

A

Force = Coulomb’s constant (charge strength/distance2)

Note:

  • Opposite charges repel and vice-versa.
  • If force is (+) = charges are repelled
  • If force is (-) = charges attract
23
Q

Current produces a magnetic field.

If a current is moving in your direction, a magnetic field can be detected. How do you determine the direction of this field?

A

right hand rule

fingers move in the direction of curled fingers

24
Q

Current flows in direction of ___ charge flow.

25
Wires that are near each other, they will have magnetic field around them. Why will wires repel/attract?
Image 1 will repel because O and O. Image 2 will attract because O and X. O= current moving into the screen X = current popping out of screen
26
Power =
P = IV "Pee" is equal to need "IV" * V = IR * P = IV
27
The sum of the voltage variations around a loop is zero is known as what law? This best describes what type of circuit?
Kirchhoff's Voltage Law Series resistance
28
The resistance in our arterial system are \_\_\_\_\_\_\_.
R1 + R2 + R3 = sum of precapillary arterioles, the only thing providing resistance in the arterial tree. We have some series circuits in our liver.
29
Principle of an attenuator (weakener) What is the potential voltage measured in V2? What is the potential voltage measured in V3?
20% of V1 80% of V1
30
If V1 = 10 V and each R = 1 ohm, What is the total current? What is the voltage drop across R5? What is V2 in the first picture? What is V3?
RT = 5x1ohm = 5ohm I = V/RT = 10/5 = 2amps voltage drop across R5 (V2) = 2amps x 1ohm = **2V** = 0.2 x 10V V3 = 2amps x 4ohm = **8V** = 0.8 x 10V
31
The sum of all currents that converge on a node will be zero is known as what law?
Kirchhoff’s Current Law
32
Rt =
33
Arterial blood system is an example of what type of system?
DC + AC signal system
34
Most circulating systems of the body (blood, pulmonary and lymphatic) are connected in \_\_\_\_\_\_.
parallel This ensure that the same force (pressure, voltage) is applied to each of the individual elements (end-organs) or the system.
35
Physiologic resistance is usually related to the diameter of the conduits through which the "current" (blood, airway gases, etc.) flows. In the arterial blood system, these resistances are controlled by the ______ \_\_\_\_\_\_.
precapillary arterioles
36
The "balance" equation: V = 0 when R1\*R4 = R2\* R3 (equal cross products)
Wheatstone Bridge It is a series and parallel combination of resistances that allows a variation in one of the impedances to alter the "balance" of the circuit.
37
What type of circuit is analogous to the vascular system?
parallel
38
If V1 = 10V and each R = 2ohm, what is the total current?
1/RT = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 = ½ + ½ + ½ =1.5 RT = 1/1.5 = 0.666ohm I = V/R = 10/0.666 = 15amps Note: Rt will be less than the smallest resistor.
39
What is the voltage across A → B? This bridge is commonly used in _____ \_\_\_\_.
0 pressure transducers
40
The ratio of the change in an electric charge in a system to the corresponding change in its electric potential.
capacitance or, physiological “compliance”
41
The property of a conductor by which a change in current which induces a voltage (electromotive force) in both itself and any nearby via \_\_\_\_\_\_'s Law.
inductance Faraday
42
Arterial tranducers are barometer or manometer?
manometer, need to zero to atmospheric pressure
43
Capacitance =
A / d * increase surface area * decrease distance to increase capacitance
44
Parallel capacitance Ct =
Ct = C1 + C2 + C3 like resistors in series
45
What type of capacitance is this? What is Ct?
series capacitance
