Question
2) A nerve signal is transmitted through a neuron when an excess of Na+ ions suddenly enters the axon, a long cylindrical part of the neuron. Axons are approximately 10.0?m in diameter, and measurements show that about 5.60

Explanation / Answer
A.Q= 6.6 X 10^11(length of axon in meters)* 1.602*10^-19C
B. E=kQ/(r^2)
C field is directed away
D. rearrange E=kQ/(r^2)
you get r=sqrt (kq/E)
