Answer:

I = 18 x 10⁻⁹ A = 18 nA

Explanation:

The current is defined as the flow of charge per unit time. Therefore,

I = q/t

where,

I = Average Current passing through nerve cell

q = Total flow of charges through nerve cell

t = time period of flow of charges

Here, in our case:

I = ?

q = (9 pC)(1 x 10⁻¹² C/1 pC) = 9 x 10⁻¹² C

t = (0.5 ms)(1 x 10⁻³ s/1 ms) = 5 x 10⁻⁴ s

Therefore,

I = (9 x 10⁻¹² C)/(5 x 10⁻⁴ s)

<u>I = 18 x 10⁻⁹ A = 18 nA</u>

Two parallel conducting plates are separated by 10.0 cm, and one of them is taken to be at zero volts. (a) what is the electric
Alex_Xolod [135]

The expression for the magnitude of the electric field between two uniform conducting plates is

E=\frac{V}{d}

Here, V is potential difference between plates and d is separation between plates.

As the potential 6.00 cm from the zero volt plate (and 4.00 cm from the other) is 420 V.

Therefore,

E = \frac{420 \ V}{6 \times 10^{-2} m } = 70 \times 10^2 \ V/m

Thus, the electric field strength between the plates is 7000 V/ m
