Some human nerve cells have a long, thin cylindrical cable (the axon) from their inputs to their outputs. Consider an axon of radius -6 4.9 x 10⁰ m and length 0.55 m. The resistivity of the fluid inside the axon is 0.50 2. m. Part A Determine the resistance of the fluid in this axon. Express your answer with the appropriate units.
