Answer:

0.1 m

Explanation:

The closest distance the electrodes used in an NCV test in oerder to measure

the voltage change as a response to the stimulus is 0.1 m.

This is because the shortest observable time period is not less than the action-potential time response of 1 mili second the length traveled by the sensation during this time is 1 m sec x 100 m / s =0.1 m, which is the shortest distance the electrodes could be positioned on the nerve.
