Question

When a nerve cell depolarizes, charge is transferred across the cell membrane, changing the potential difference. For a typical nerve cell, 9.0 pC of charge flows in a time of 0.50 ms. Part A What is the average current

Answer 1

Answer:

1.8 x 10^-8A

Explanation:

Using the equation for current:

I= Q/t

current = (9X10^-12)/ (0.50X 10^-3)

= 1.8^-8A
