The potential difference across a resting neuron in the human body is about 70 mv, and the current in it is approximately 200ua. how much power does the neuron release

Respuesta :

I = 200 ua

V = 70 mV

Power = ?

Formula: Power = IV

Solution:

Power = IV

= ( 200 x 10^-6 A ) x ( 70 x 10^-3 V )

Power = 1.4 x 10^-5 Watts

The power that the neuron release is 1.4 x 10^-5 Watts

The power released by the neuron is 1.4×10⁻⁵ W.

What is power?

Power can be defined as the rate at which energy is used.

To calculate the power released by the neuron, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • P = VI............... Equation 1

Where:

  • P = Power released by the neuron
  • V = Voltage of the neuron
  • I = Current.

From the question,

Given:

  • V = 70 mV = 70×10⁻³ V
  • I = 200 μa = 200×10⁻⁶ A

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • P = (70×10⁻³)(200×10⁻⁶)
  • P = 14000×10⁻⁹
  • P = 1.4×10⁻⁵ W

Hence, The power released by the neuron is 1.4×10⁻⁵ W.
