Question
(c) The eel needs to generate a potential difference of 600 V. How should the electroplaques be connected?
[ ] In series [ ] In parallel [ ] Randomly, it does not matter
What is the minimum number of electroplaques you need to set up this 600 V potential difference? Make a rough sketch of your proposed circuit.
Question on potential differences and circuits. Will rate highly for answers with explanations! thanks :) (c) The eel needs to generate a potential difference of 600 V. How should the electroplaques be connected? [ ] In series [ ] In parallel [ ] Randomly, it does not matter What is the minimum number of electroplaques you need to set up this 600 V potential difference? Make a rough sketch of your proposed circuit (Left) Schematic of the electric Organ in the eel, showing a network of about 6000 electroplaques (arranged in Series? Parallel?? Both?) [Zukowski, Yale University]. Also shown is a cartoon showing how a transmembrane protein can set up a potential difference across each individual electroplaque. (Right) A single Electroplaque, with a simple equivalent circuit consisting of a single 0.15 V battery and a series resistance of 0.25 Ohms.Explanation / Answer
The effective potential difference increases only when the electroplaques are connected in series.
The minimum number of electroplaques required is,
N=600 V/0.15 V=4000
