Question: a.What happens when using 100k resistor compared to 1M resistor? (it is faster at charging than the 1M) b. What happens with the 330-capacitor compared

a.What happens when using 100k resistor compared to 1M resistor? (it is faster at charging than the 1M) b. What happens with the 330-capacitor compared with the 33 capacitors? (it charges for a much longer time.) (1) Based on how quickly your brain can change the motion of your finger by sending an impulse along an axon (you can time this with the stopwatch on your phone), what might be a realistic characteristic time for charge/voltage to build up on a membrane capacitor? (2) How long does it take the R = 1 M$2, C = 33 ME series RC circuit to reach 63% of the voltage being supplied by the power supply? How is this time related to R and C? (3) What is the functional dependence with time of the voltage across the capacitor? (4) What happens to the time it takes to reach 63% of the maximum voltage (the voltage reached after a long time) at that point in the axon as you move farther down the axon? (5) How does the time require to reach an action potential depend on the distance along the axon from the source of voltage
