Why isn't electrical transmission sufficient for plants to carry out the transfer of information?
Madhur L.
A metal cable has radius r and is covered by insulation, so that the distance from the center of the cable to the exterior of the insulation is $\mathrm{R}$ . The velocity $v$ of an electrical impulse in the cable is $$v=-c\left(\frac{r}{R}\right)^{2} \ln \left(\frac{r}{R}\right)$$ where $c$ is a positive constant. Find the following limits and interpret your answers. $$(a) \lim _{R \rightarrow r} v \ (b) \lim _{t \rightarrow 0^{+}} v$$
