Question

Good Evening, So im trying to solve this HW problem and i think im miss the given ohm to solve. unless i hve to figure out the ohm's and then plug in the given values to solve.so far i have

from the Resistance quation Resistance = (resistivity x length)/ Area

Resistance = (ohm x 0.0006m) / 2.5 x 10^-11

or also thats unless i dont need resistivity and i am reading too much into it 

thank you in advanced.

Nerve impulses are carried along axons, which are
long, thin projections of neuron cells. We can model
an axon as a 10-µm-diameter tube of cytosol.
