Cell Membrane Resistance
The capacitance of biological membranes is about 1.0 μF per cm2 of membrane area, so investigators can determine the surface area of a cell membrane by using intracellular electrodes to measure the membrane’s capacitive reactance. An investigator applies a 1.0 μA peak current at 40 kHz to a cell and measures the peak out-of-phase voltage—that is, the component of the voltage due to the capacitive reactance of the cell membrane—to be 0.16 V.
If the frequency is doubled to 80 kHz and the current is kept the same, what will be the peak out-of-phase voltage?
A. 0.32 V
B. 0.16 V
C. 0.080 V
D. 0.040 V

(c) Which assumption or premise is responsible?arrow_forwardAn oscillator circuit is important to many applications. A simple oscillator circuit can be built by adding a neon gas tube to an RC circuit, as shown in the figure (Figure 1). Gas is normally a good insulator, and the resistance of the gas tube is essentially infinite when the light is off. This allows the capacitor to charge. When the capacitor voltage reaches a value Von, the electric field inside the tube becomes strong enough to ionize the neon gas. Visually, the tube lights with an orange glow. Electrically, the ionization of the gas provides a very-low-resistance path through the tube. The capacitor very rapidly (we can think of it as instantaneously) discharges through the tube and the capacitor voltage drops. When the capacitor voltage has dropped to a value Voff, the electric field inside the tube becomes too weak to sustain the ionization and the neon light turns off. The capacitor then starts to charge again. The capacitor voltage oscillates between Voff, when it starts…arrow_forward

The resistance, R, is a circuit parameter that opposes the amount of electric charges Q, passing through the circuit per unit time and causes a drop in potential given by Ohm's Law while the capacitance, C, is a circuit parameter that measures the amount of electric charges that the current carries and stores in the capacitor. Both the resistor and capacitor cause the total drop in electric potential and is equivalent to the total electromotive force, E, which is produced by a voltage source such as batteries. dQ E =+R- C dt As soon as the switch is opened, the initial charge Q, that is stored in the capacitor varies through time, t.
