The giant axon of a squid is (0.5 mathrm{~mm}) in diameter, (10 mathrm{~cm})(mathrm{BO}) long, and not myelinated.
Question:
The giant axon of a squid is \(0.5 \mathrm{~mm}\) in diameter, \(10 \mathrm{~cm}\)\(\mathrm{BO}\) long, and not myelinated. Unmyelinated cell membranesINT behave as capacitors with \(1 \mu \mathrm{F}\) of capacitance per square centimeter of membrane area. When the axon is charged to the \(-70 \mathrm{mV}\) resting potential, what is the energy stored in this capacitance?
