Anerve signal is transmitted through a neuron when an excess of na+ ions suddenly enters the axon, a long cylindrical part of the neuron. axons are approximately 10.0 μm in diameter, and measurements show that about 5.60×1011 na+ions per meter (each of charge +e) enter during this process. although the axon is a long cylinder, the charge does not all enter everywhere at the same time. a plausible model would be a series of nearly point charges moving along the axon. let us look at a 0.100 mm length of the axon and model it as a point charge.
1) what electric field (magnitude and direction) does the sudden influx of charge produce at the surface of the body if the axon is 5.00 cm below the skin? note that distance to the skin is much greater than the length of the charged axon so that the axon charge is effectiely point-like.,
2) if the charge that enters each meter of the axon gets distributed uniformly along it, how many coulombs of charge enter a 0.100 mm length of the axon? answer in c
3) the field is directed away from the axon or the field is directed into the axon

An ideal otto cycle has a compression ratio of 10.5, takes in air at 90 kpa and 40°c, and is repeated 2500 times per minute. using constant specific heats at room temperature, determine the thermal efficiency of this cycle and the rate of heat input if the cycle is to produce 90 kw of power.
