Answer

The current that passes through a meter of axon is $ I = 8.96\times10^{-6} A$

Work Step by Step

$Q = Ne$ $Q = (5.6\times10^{-11})(|-1.6\times10^{-19}|C)$ $Q = 8.96\times10^{-8}C$. This represents the amount of charge passing through 1 meter of the axon. Therefore, the current passing through is: $I=\frac{Q}{t}$ $I = \frac{8.96\times10^{-8}C}{10\times10^{-3}s}$ $ I = 8.96\times10^{-6} A$
