Calculate the capacitance of the myelinated neuron membrane (axon), if its thickness is 0.8 micrometres (um) using a value of area of 10-6 m2. The membrane wall is mainly lipids and you will need to find the value of the permittivity in your notes. Give your answer in picoFarads (10-12 F) NB 1um = 10-6 m
Dielectric Constant Of Water
Water constitutes about 70% of earth. Some important distinguishing properties of water are high molar concentration, small dissociation constant and high dielectric constant.
Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance
An electrostatic force is a force caused by stationary electric charges /fields. The electrostatic force is caused by the transfer of electrons in conducting materials. Coulomb’s law determines the amount of force between two stationary, charged particles. The electric force is the force which acts between two stationary charges. It is also called Coulomb force.
