1.If I double the diameter of a cell, by what factor does the capacitance of the membrane change?



2. Help!



The Attempt at a Solution

It depends on the shape of the cell and the permittivity,geometry and structure of the surroundings.For an isolated spherical cell C is proportional to diameter.

To solve this, I first used the units to work out that a= m* a/m, i.e. t=z/λ. This would allow you to determine the time duration within an interval section by section and then add this to the previous ones to obtain the age of the respective layer. However, this would require a constant thickness per year for each interval. However, since this is most likely not the case, my next consideration was that the age must be the integral of a 1/λ(z) function, which I cannot model.
