Determine the time constant of a membrane


A cell membrane consists of a resistance and a capacitance and therefore a characteristic time constant. Determine the time constant of an 8.1 nm-thick membrane surrounding a 4.2 x 10-2 mm-diameter spherical cell? Suppose that the resistivity of the cell membrane as 3.6×106 Ω×m and the dielectric constant is around 9.0.
