Chapter 22, Problem 42PP

Converting dc to ac. An individual cell such as an egg cell (an ovum, produced in the ovaries) is commonly organized spatially, as manifested in part by asymmetries in the cell membrane These asymmetries include non-uniform distributions of ion transport mechanisms, which result in a net electric current entering one region of the membrane and leaving another. These steady cellular currents may regulate cell polarity, leading (In the case of eggs) to embryonic polarity; therefore, scientists are interested in measuring them.

These cellular currents move in loops through extracellular fluid Ohm s law requires that there be a voltage difference between any two points in this current-carrying fluid surrounding cells Although the currents may be significant, the extracellular voltage differences are tiny—on the order of nanovolts If we can map the voltage differences in the fluid outside a cell, we can calculate the current density by using Ohm s law, assuming that the resistivity of the fluid is known We cannot measure these voltage differences by spacing two electrodes 10 or 20 μm apart because the dc impedance (the resistance) of such electrodes is high and the inherent noise in signals detected at the electrodes far exceeds the cellular voltages.

One successful method of measurement uses an electrode with a ball-shaped end made of platinum that is moved sinusoidally between two points in the fluid outside a cell The electric potential that the electrode measures, with respect to a distant reference electrode, also vanes sinusoidally The dc potential difference between the two extremes (the two points in the fluid) is then converted to a sine-wave ac potential difference The platinum electrode behaves as a capacitor in series with the resistance of the extracellular fluid This resistance, called the access resistance (R_A), has a value of about ρ/10a, where ρ is the resistivity of the fluid (usually expressed in ω cm) and a is the radius of the ball electrode The platinum ball typically has a diameter of 20 pm and a capacitance of 10 μm; the resistivity of many biological fluids is 100 ω cm.

42 The signal from the oscillating electrode is fed into an amplifier, which reports the measured voltage as an rms value. 1.5 nV What is the potential difference between the two extremes?

A. 1.5 nV
B. 3 0 nV
C. 2.1 nV
D. 4 2 nV

You are standing a distance x = 1.75 m away from this mirror. The object you are looking at is y = 0.29 m from the mirror. The angle of incidence is θ = 30°. What is the exact distance from you to the image?

For each of the actions depicted below, a magnet and/or metal loop moves with velocity v→ (v→ is constant and has the same magnitude in all parts). Determine whether a current is induced in the metal loop. If so, indicate the direction of the current in the loop, either clockwise or counterclockwise when seen from the right of the loop. The axis of the magnet is lined up with the center of the loop. For the action depicted in (Figure 5), indicate the direction of the induced current in the loop (clockwise, counterclockwise or zero, when seen from the right of the loop). I know that the current is clockwise, I just dont understand why. Please fully explain why it's clockwise, Thank you

A planar double pendulum consists of two point masses \[m_1 = 1.00~\mathrm{kg}, \qquad m_2 = 1.00~\mathrm{kg}\]connected by massless, rigid rods of lengths \[L_1 = 1.00~\mathrm{m}, \qquad L_2 = 1.20~\mathrm{m}.\]The upper rod is hinged to a fixed pivot; gravity acts vertically downward with\[g = 9.81~\mathrm{m\,s^{-2}}.\]Define the generalized coordinates \(\theta_1,\theta_2\) as the angles each rod makes with thedownward vertical (positive anticlockwise, measured in radians unless stated otherwise).At \(t=0\) the system is released from rest with \[\theta_1(0)=120^{\circ}, \qquad\theta_2(0)=-10^{\circ}, \qquad\dot{\theta}_1(0)=\dot{\theta}_2(0)=0 .\]Using the exact nonlinear equations of motion (no small-angle or planar-pendulumapproximations) and assuming the rods never stretch or slip, determine the angle\(\theta_2\) at the instant\[t = 10.0~\mathrm{s}.\]Give the result in degrees, in the interval \((-180^{\circ},180^{\circ}]\).
