A nerve signal is transmitted through a neuron when an excess of Na+ ions suddenly enters the axon, a long cylindrical part of t

he neuron. Axons are approximately 10.0 μm in diameter, and measurements show that about 5.60×1011 Na+ions per meter (each of charge +e) enter during this process. Although the axon is a long cylinder, the charge does not all enter everywhere at the same time. A plausible model would be a series of nearly point charges moving along the axon. Let us look at a 0.100 mm length of the axon and model it as a point charge.1) What electric field (magnitude and direction) does the sudden influx of charge produce at the surface of the body if the axon is 5.00 cm below the skin? Note that distance to the skin is much greater than the length of the charged axon so that the axon charge is effectiely point-like.,E = (INSERT ANSWER) N/C2) If the charge that enters each meter of the axon gets distributed uniformly along it, how many coulombs of charge enter a 0.100 mm length of the axon? Answer in C3) the field is directed away from the axon or the field is directed into the axon

Answer:

1.32.225 N/C, direction is away from the point charge

2. 8.972*10^-12 C

3. the field is directed away from the axon

Explanation:

The electric field can be calculated as shown below:

E = k*|q|/r^2

Where:

E = electric field; k = 8.98755*10^9 N*m^2/C^2; r = distance between the measured field and point charge = 0.05 m; q = the point charge

For 0.100 m of the axon, the value of q is:

q = (5.6*10^11)*(+e)*(0.001)

+e = charge of an electron = 1.60217*10^-19 C

Thus:

q = (5.6*10^11)*(1.60217*10^-19)*(0.0001) = 8.972*10^-12 C

Therefore:

E = (8.98755*10^9)*(8.972*10^-12)/0.05^2 = 32.255 N/C

A positive point charge always produce an electric field that is directed away from the field while a negative point charge produces an electric field that is directed toward the field

A copper rod 81 cm long is used to poke a fire. the hot end of the rod is maintained at 105° c and the cool end has a constant t
Ugo [173]
The temperature inside the copper rod varies linearly with the distance from the hot end of the rod. This means that we can find the temperature at 23 cm (let's call it 'point A') from the cool end by solving a linear proportion.

The temperature difference between the two ends of the rod is
\Delta T = 105^{\circ}-21^{\circ} = 84^{\circ}
and this corresponds to a length of 81 cm. Therefore, we can write:
84^{\circ}:81~cm = x:23~cm
from which we find
x=23.8~^{\circ}
This is not the final answer actually; this is the temperature difference between the cool end and point A. So, the temperature at point A is
T_A = 21^{\circ}+x=44.8^{\circ}
