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>
Option B is the correct answer.
MKS system gives the following units:
Distance ----- meters
Mass ----- Kilograms
Time ----- seconds
meter is basic unit for length measurement. smaller units are centimeter, millimeter, micrometer, bigger units are kilometer and so on.
kilogram is the basic unit for mass. smaller unit is gram.
second is the basic unit for time. Greater units are minutes, hours, smallest unit are micro second and so on.
Scalar is a quantity such as mass or length that is completely determined by its own magnitude and has no direction. Therefore, your answer is Speed.
A if it is one answer and if it’s multiple choice A and D
