CH 5 PROBLEMS
CHAPTER 5 SOLUTIONS 1. Nernst equation 2.24 in the form of eq.5.1: V = 61 x log(ce/ci) = - 43 [mV]. The K+ concentration is higher on the outside, so the inside is negative. The Nernst equation is dealing with one ion species, and in a real case there are more than one species. Then the Goldman equation is useful, but the permeability (P) of each ion must be known. 2. The area of the cell membrane is 4r2=4(5x10-6)2 = 10-10 [m2] and the capacitance of the membrane 10-2 [F/m2]. The total membrane capacitance is then [pF]. Q=CU and therefore =q/C=2x106x1.6x10-19/10-12 = 0.1 [V]. 3. Eq.5.3 (Weiss) gives I=1.1x I0. Eq.5.4 (Lapicque) gives 1.00004xI0. 4.

CH 6 PROBLEMS 1. A sphere of radius 1 cm is positioned in an infinite medium of resistivity 1 ohmmeter. a. Calculate the resistance between the sphere and an infinite large and distant counter electrode. b. Calculate the resistance with a spherical counter electrode at distance 10 cm. c. Calculate the resistance with an infinite area plate counter electrode at distance 10 cm. 2. Consider a large plastic cylinder of diameter 80 cm filled with saline of =2 meter. In the centre is placed an electrical equivalent heart dipole of moment 10 mAcm. Calculate the measured voltage in two pick-up electrodes 10 cm apart, parallel to the heart dipole and at distance 10 cm. Consider the case to be ideal according to Section 6.4.2 . 3. Make a comparison between the 2-electrode system (the resistance of two hemispheres far away from each other according to eq.6.1 is R=/a) and the 4electrode system of eq.6.35. 4. Find the dipole current of a heart vector with the following parameters given: u=1mV, Lpu=0.3m, Lcc=1 cm, r: 5 cm, =2m. Consider eq.6.29 valid.
CH 6 SOLUTIONS 1. a. Eq.6.1 is valid for a hemisphere, for a total sphere the resistance R is halved: R=/4a=1/4x10-2= 8 []. b. Eq.6.2 is valid for a hemisphere, for a complete sphere the resistance R is halved: R= (/4)x(1/a-1/r)=(1/4 )x(1/102 -1/10-1)}= 7.2 []. c. Using eq.6.9: G=1x4xx10-2x(1+10-2/5x10-2+104 /25x10-4) = 0.156 [S] and R=6.4 []. 2. Using eq.6.15: =2x10x10-5x10-1/410-1x3 = 1.5 mV. 3. The resistance between the two spheres is /a. The transfer resistance in the 4-electrode system is according to eq.6.35 /2d. When d>>a it is clear that the 4-electrode system measures a much lower resistance. The two systems are not at all compatible: the resistance of the two spheres is dominated by the zone near the electrodes, the 4-electrode system by the volume between the electrodes. 4. Using eq.6.29: I=4r3u / Lpu Lcc=4x5-2x3x10-3 / 2x0.3x10-2= 0.13 [mA]

PROBLEMS What is transfer resistance? What is reciprocity? Why is eq.7.24 important for understanding lock-in amplifiers and Fourier analysis? What is a polarized electrode? Give an example. What is a non-polarizable electrode? Give an example. What is a typical dry skin impedance modulus at 10 Hz? What is a typical wet skin impedance modulus at 10 Hz? What is a typical wet gel electrode polarization impedance modulus at 10 Hz? What is a typical solid gel electrode polarization impedance modulus at 10 Hz?
CHAPTER 7 SOLUTIONS 1. The transfer impedance is Ztr = u/i and refers to black box two port systems where i is the input current to port 1 and u the voltage difference at port 2. 2. Reciprocity in black box two port systems is the swapping of the current injection and voltage reading ports. 3. Eq.7.24 shows that if two sine waveforms of equal frequency are multiplied with each other, the product contains a dc component (cos). A lock-in amplifier therefore works as a rectifying filter, only waveforms containing the reference signal contributes to the dc output. Fourier analysis: By multiplying a known sinusoidal reference signal with an unknown waveform, the dc level of the product tells us whether a reference frequency signal is contained in the unknown waveform. 4. A polarized electrode has current flow through its metal surface. Example: A CC electrode. 5. A non-polarizable electrode has only small half-cell voltage dependence on current flow. Example: Silver-silver chloride electrode in a NaCl solution. 6. From Fig 7.36 and eq.3.23b: 200x3 = 600 kcm2. 7. From Fig 7.36 and eq.3.23b: 12x3 = 36 kcm2. 8. From Fig 7.39 and eq.3.23b: 113x3 = 339 cm2 (X and R are found to be 80 for one electrode. The modulus is therefore (802+802)0.5 = 113 for 3 cm2). 9. From Fig 7.41 and eq.3.23b: 2022x5 10 kcm2. (X is found to be 300 and R to be 2000 for one electrode. The modulus is therefore (3002+20002)0.5 = 2022 for 5 cm2). This electrode can therefore not be used for skin impedance measurements at 10 Hz.
