A cell membrane has a resistance and a capacitance and thus a characteristic time constant. What is the time constant of a 8.9 nm -thick membrane surrounding a 5.0×10−2 mm -diameter spherical cell? Assume the resistivity of the cell membrane as 3.6×106 Ω⋅m and the dielectric constant is approximately 9.0.
