The brief wave of positive electrical charge that sweeps down the axon is _____.

1 answer:

5 0

I believe Action potential is the brief wave of positive charge that sweeps down the axon. Axon is part of the neuron that conducts impulses from the dendrites towards the cell body along the neuron. The action potential is brief since the sodium channels can only stay open for a very brief amount of time. As it travels along the neuron there is a change in polarity across the membrane of the axon .

A short current element dl⃗ = (0.500 mm)j^ carries a current of 5.40 A in the same direction as dl⃗ . Point P is located at r⃗ =

SashulF [63]

Answer:

The magnetic field along x axis is

$B_{x}=1.670\times10^{-10}\ T$

The magnetic field along y axis is zero.

The magnetic field along z axis is

$B_{z}=3.484\times10^{-10}\ T$

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the current element $dl=(0.5\times10^{-3})j$

Current in y direction = 5.40 A

Point P located at $\vec{r}=(-0.730)i+(0.390)k$

The distance is

$|\vec{r}|=\sqrt{(0.730)^2+(0.390)^2}$

$|\vec{r}|=0.827\ m$

We need to calculate the magnetic field

Using Biot-savart law

$B=\dfrac{\mu_{0}}{4\pi}\timesI\times\dfrac{\vec{dl}\times\vec{r}}{|\vec{r}|^3}$

Put the value into the formula

$B=10^{-7}\times5.40\times\dfrac{(0.5\times10^{-3})\times(-0.730)i+(0.390)k}{(0.827)^3}$

We need to calculate the value of $\vec{dl}\times\vec{r}$

$\vec{dl}\times\vec{r}=(0.5\times10^{-3})\times(-0.730)i+(0.390)k$

$\vec{dl}\times\vec{r}=i(0.350\times0.5\times10^{-3}-0)+k(0+0.730\times0.5\times10^{-3})$

$\vec{dl}\times\vec{r}=0.000175i+0.000365k$

Put the value into the formula of magnetic field

$B=10^{-7}\times5.40\times\dfrac{(0.000175i+0.000365k)}{(0.827)^3}$

$B=1.670\times10^{-10}i+3.484\times10^{-10}k$

Hence, The magnetic field along x axis is

$B_{x}=1.670\times10^{-10}\ T$

The magnetic field along y axis is zero.

The magnetic field along z axis is

$B_{z}=3.484\times10^{-10}\ T$

Assume that the speed of light in a vacuum has the hypothetical value of 18.0 m/s. A car is moving at a constant speed of 14.0 m

denis23 [38]

Answer:

4.245s

Explanation:

Given that,

Hypothetical value of speed of light in a vacuum is 18 m/s

Speed of the car, 14 m/s

Time given is 6.76 s, and we're asked to find the observed time, T

The relationship between the two times can be given as

T = t / √[1 - (v²/c²)]

The missing variable were looking for is t, and we can find it if we rearrange the formula and make t the subject

t = T / √[1 - (v²/c²)]

And now, we substitute the values and insert into the equation

t = 6.76 * √[1 - (14²/18²)]

t = 6.76 * √[1 - (196/324)]

t = 6.76 * √(1 - 0.605)

t = 6.76 * √0.395

t = 6.76 * 0.628

t = 4.245 s

Therefore, the time the driver measures for the trip is 4.245s

Consider two diffraction gratings. One grating has 3000 lines per cm, and the other one has 6000 lines per cm. Both gratings are

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

<em>The 6000 lines per cm grating, will produces the greater dispersion .</em>

Explanation:

A diffraction grating is an optical component with a periodic (usually one that has ridges or rulings on their surface rather than dark lines) structure that splits and diffracts light into several beams travelling in different directions.

The directions of the light beam produced from a diffraction grating depend on the spacing of the grating, and also on the wavelength of the light.

For a plane diffraction grating, the angular positions of principle maxima is given by

(a + b) sin ∅n = nλ

where

a+b is the distance between two consecutive slits

n is the order of principal maxima

λ is the wavelength of the light

From the equation, we can see that without sin ∅ exceeding 1, increasing the number of lines per cm will lead to a decrease between the spacing between consecutive slits.

In this case, light of the same wavelength is used. If λ and n is held constant, then we'll see that reducing the distance between two consecutive slits (a + b) will lead to an increase in the angle of dispersion sin ∅. So long as the limit of sin ∅ not greater that one is maintained.
