Chapter 4: Q9E (page 842)

BIO Transmission of Nerve Impulses. Nerve cells transmit electric

signals through their long tubular axons. These signals propagate due to a

sudden rush of Na+ions, each with charge +e, into the axon. Measurements

have revealed that typically about 5.6脳1011Na+ions enter each meter of the

axon during a time of . What is the current during this inflow of charge

in a meter of axon?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The current during the inflow of charge in a meter of axon is9渭A.

Step by step solution

01

Define the current.

The charge per unit time is known as the current .

I=Qt

Here, I is current in ampereA, Q is charge in Columbus Cand t is time in sec

02

Determine current and direction of current.

Determine the current between the two electrodes as:

I=NQt=NumberofNa+脳qt

Substitute the values and solve as,

I=5脳1011脳-1.6脳脳10-1910脳10-3=8.96渭A鈮�9渭A

Hence, current during the inflow of charge in a meter of axon is 8.96 渭A.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Question: Good conductors of electricity, such as metals, are typically good conductors of heat; insulators, such as wood, are typically poor conductors of heat. Explain why there is a relationship between conduction of electricity and conduction of heat in these materials.

Question: A conducting sphere is placed between two charged parallel plates such as those shown in Figure. Does the electric field inside the sphere depend on precisely where between the plates the sphere is placed? What about the electric potential inside the sphere? Do the answers to these questions depend on whether or not there is a net charge on the sphere? Explain your reasoning.

(a) What is the potential difference Vadin the circuit of Fig. P25.62? (b) What is the terminal voltage of the 4.00-Vbattery? (c) A battery with emf and internal resistance 0.50惟is inserted in the circuit at d, with its negative terminal connected to the negative terminal of the 8.00-Vbattery. What is the difference of potential Vbcbetween the terminals of the 4.00-Vbattery now?

Light Bulbs in Series and in Parallel. Two light bulbs have constant resistances of 400惟and 800惟. If the two light bulbs are connected in series across a 120Vline, find (a) the current through each bulb; (b) the power dissipated in each bulb; (c) the total power dissipated in both bulbs. The two light bulbs are now connected in parallel across the120Vline. Find (d) the current through each bulb; (e) the power dissipated in each bulb; (f) the total power dissipated in both bulbs. (g) In each situation, which of the two bulbs glows the brightest? (h) In which situation is there a greater total light output from both bulbs combined?

The electric fields at pointdueto the positive chargesandare shown

in Fig. Q21.22. Does the fact that theycross each other violate the statement in

Section 21.6 that electric field lines nevercross? Explain.
