Chapter 24, Problem 41P
In a study of proteins mediating cell membrane transport, biologists measure current versus time through the cell membranes of oocytes (nearly mature egg cells) taken from the African clawed frog, Xenopus. The measured current versus time is given approximately by I = 60t + 200t2 + 4.0t3 with t in seconds and I in nA. Find the total charge that flows through the cell membrane in the interval from t = 0 to t = 5.0 s.

The electric charge that moves through a conductor varies in accordance with the equation q(t) =950t, where Q and t are given in μC and msec respectively. Calculate the current in A.
The quantity of charge Q that has passed through a surface of area 6.00 mm2 varies with time according to the equation Q = 2t2 + 10, where t is in seconds. What is the instantaneous current through the surface at t = 2.6 s?
A 190-km-long high-voltage transmission line 2.00 cm in diameter carries a steady current of 1,230 A. If the conductor is copper with a free charge density of 8.50 × 1028 electrons per cubic meter, how many years does it take one electron to travel the full
length of the cable? (Use 3.156 × 107 for the number of seconds in a year.)
