Homework Answers

Answer #1


C1 and C2 are in parallel there net capacaitance of C1 and C2 is C1+C2 C12= 11+12 = 23 uF...

C12 and C3 are in series..

Cnet = C12*C3/(C12+C3) = 23*2/(23+2) = 1.84 uF....


net charge q = Cnet*V = 1.84uF*24 = 44.16 uC..

for capacitor C3

therefore charge on C3 = q = 44.16 uC..

potential difference V3 = q/C3 = 44.16uC/2uF = 22.08 V

for capacitor C1 and C2

potential difference V1= V2 = 24-22.08 = 1.92 V

on C1 charge q1 = C1*V1 = 11*10^-6*1.92 = 21.12 uC...

on C2 charge q2 = C2*V2 = 12*10^-6*1.92 = 23.04 uC

The net charge difference across the membrane, just like the charge difference across the plates of a capacitor, is what leads to the voltage across the membrane. How much excess charge (in picocoulombs, where 1 pc = 1x10-12 C) must lie on either side of the membrane of an axon of length 1 cm to provide this potential difference (0.07 V) across the membrane? You may consider that a net positive charge with this value lies just outside the axon...
