Chapter 4: Q5E (page 713)
Neurons are components of the nervous system of the body that transmit signals as electric impulses travel along their length. These impulses propagate when thecharge suddenly rushes into and then out of a part of the neuron called an axon. Measurements have shown that, during the inflow part of this cycle, approximately (sodium ions) per meter, each with charge , enter the axon. How many coulombs of charge enter the length of the axon during this process?
Short Answer
The magnitude of charge entering the axon is 1.3nC.
