Many biological systems are well-described by the laws of statistical physics. A simple yet often powerful approach is to think

of a system as having only two states. For example, an ion channel may be open or closed. In this problem, consider a simple model of membrane channels for ions: The system is described by a Boltzmann distribution with only two states, with energies ε1 (open) and ε2 (closed). Assume the "open" state is the state of higher energy, so that ε1 > ε2.
If the probability of finding an ion channel open is popen and the probability of finding the ion channel closed is pclosed, which of the expressions below best represents the relative probability of open to closed, R = popen/pclosed? Use the notation z1 = e-ε1/kBT and z2 = e-ε2/kBT

a. z1-z2
b. z2-z1
c. z1/z2
d. z2/z1
e. Something else

Answer:

z1/z2

Explanation:

we have no quantum effects therefore we can make use of Maxwell Boltzmann distribution in the description of this system.

using the boltzman distribution the probability of finding a particle in energy state

P_{ei}  = \frac{gie^{-ei/kol} }{z}

we have

gi to be degeneration of the ith state

ei to be energy of ith state

z=e^{-ei/kbt} summation

P_{ope} = \frac{e^{-ei/kBt} }{z} = \frac{Z_{1} }{Z}

We have R to be equal to

\frac{P_{ope} }{P_{Close} } = \frac{Z1}{Z2}

The increase in height as a tsunami approaches shore is due to
ryzh [129]

Answer:

C. The decrease in speed as the wave approaches shore.

Explanation:

The waves break when approaching the shore because the depth decreases. Thus, the wave travels more slowly and increases its height. There comes a time when the part of the wave on the surface travels faster than the one that travels under water, the ridge destabilizes and falls against the ground.

An aluminum "12 gauge" wire has a diameter d of 0.205 centimeters. The resistivity ρ of aluminum is 2.75×10−8 ohm-meters. The el
Alborosie

Answer:

I = 4.75 A

Explanation:

To find the current in the wire you use the following relation:

J=\frac{E}{\rho}      (1)

E: electric field E(t)=0.0004t2−0.0001t+0.0004

ρ: resistivity of the material = 2.75×10−8 ohm-meters

J: current density

The current density is also given by:

J=\frac{I}{A}        (2)

I: current

A: cross area of the wire = π(d/2)^2

d: diameter of the wire = 0.205 cm = 0.00205 m

You replace the equation (2) into the equation (1), and you solve for the current I:

\frac{I}{A}=\frac{E(t)}{\rho}\\\\I(t)=\frac{AE(t)}{\rho}

Next, you replace for all variables:

I(t)=\frac{\pi (d/2)^2E(t)}{\rho}\\\\I(t)=\frac{\pi(0.00205m/2)^2(0.0004t^2-0.0001t+0.0004)}{2.75*10^{-8}\Omega.m}\\\\I(t)=4.75A

hence, the current in the wire is 4.75A

Define conductor and insulator, including how the resistance is different in the two, and give at least one example of each.
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Those substances which can conduct electricity are called conductors, while those substances which don't conduct electricity are called insulators.

Resistance is the obstruction provided by the material through which the current passes,so since conductors conduct electricity and insulators don't,so the obstruction i.e resistance provided by the conductor must be less,while insulators being unable to conduct electricity,has very high resistance.

Example of conductor is copper

Example of insulator is plastic
