When a nerve cell fires, the charge is transferred across the cell membrane to change the cell's potential from negative to positive. For a typical nerve cell, of charge flows in a time of . What is the average current through the cell membrane?
76. A thin metal cylinder of length and radius is coaxial with a thin metal cylinder of length and a larger radius . The space between the two coaxial cylinders is filled with a material that has resistivity . The two cylinders are connected to the terminals of a battery with potential difference , causing current to flow radially from the inner cylinder to the outer cylinder. Find an expression for the resistance of this device.
