← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a defibrillator fails due to overcharged capacitors?
A)Excessive electric field damages heart✓
B)Low power prevents cardiac stimulation
C)Unpredictable output damages components
D)Premature firing triggers safety mechanisms
💡 Explanation
The defibrillator delivers an unsafe shock because the excessive charge on the capacitors causes an extremely high electric field. This can directly damage myocardial tissue rather than providing proper controlled stimulation or trigger safety cutoffs.
