A cylindrical cell of radius a is immersed in a cylindrical trough so that the external solution is cylindrical with radius b as shown in Figure P3. The resistivities of the cytoplasm and the extracellular solutions are pi and po, respectively. a) Find the relation between b and a for the condition r = ro b) Suppose that r = ro and pi - Po.
