A biophysics experiment uses a very sensitive magnetic field probe to determine the current associated with a nerve impulse traveling along an axon. If the peak field strength 1.3mm from an axon is 9.0pT , what is the peak current carried by the axon?

The peak current carried by the axon is 5.85 x 10⁻⁸ A

Explanation:

Given;

distance of the field from the axon, r = 1.3 mm

peak magnetic field strength, B = 9 x 10⁻¹² T

To determine the peak current carried by the axon, apply the following equation;

where;

B is the peak magnetic field

r is the distance of the magnetic field from axon

μ is permeability of free space = 4π x 10⁻⁷

I is the peak current

Re-arrange the equation and solve for "I"

Therefore, the peak current carried by the axon is 5.85 x 10⁻⁸ A

to be honest as much as i would love to answer this. i feel as if something's missing. just saying.

i am pretty sure it is c because when people are closer together, they cannot move as freely. picture being in a mostly full elevator, for instance. the people are right next to you, and you can barely move.
