`Theta = sqrt( "A" /(2* "R" * "I" )* ( (d^2V)/(dt^2) ))`
Enter a value for all fields
This equation computes the speed at which an electrochemical impulse propagates down a neural pathway. This speed is known as the Conduction Velocity.
The equation's variables are:
- Θ = conduction velocity
- I = capacitance
- A = cross-sectional area
- R = resistance
- `d^2V`/`"dt"^2` = second derivative of membrane voltage to time (assumed in this case to be constant)
