Physics

An electric eel generates electric currents through its highlyspecialized 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 3.50 ✕ 103 electrocytes and can deliver up to 300 shocks inrapid series over about 1 s.

a)What maximum electrical power can an electric eelgenerate?

b)Approximately how much energy does it release in twoshocks?

c)How high would a mass of 3 kg have to be lifted so that itsgravitational potential energy equals the energy released in 300such shocks?
