When a nerve cell fires, charge is transferred across the cell membrane to change the cell's potential from negative to positive. For a typical nerve cell, 9.2pC of charge flows in a time of 0.52ms .What is the average current through the cell membrane?

The average current will be "17.69 nA".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Charge,

q = 9.2 pC

Time,

t = 0.52ms
