The giant squid axon has a diameter of 100μm, a membranethickness of 7.5nm, and a specific membrane capacity of 1μF/cm2.Draw a schematic of the axon, local charge distributions, andindicate the electric field vector across the membrane at rest.Calculate the magnitude of the electric field across themembrane.
