This type of coma is usually reversible once the blood sugar is corrected. Oxygen deprivation: Oxygen is essential for brain function. Cardiac arrest causes a sudden cutoff of blood flow and oxygen to the brain, called hypoxia or anoxia.
The external power supply is the AC power adapter that converts household AC electricity voltages to the much lower DC voltages needed to charge a mobile phone's internal battery.
Suppose that a (positive) charge is driven around the external circuit, from the positive to the negative terminal, by the electric field set up between the terminals.
