How much electricity is in the brain?
drlloyd2007 replied to tinyboy21's topic in Anatomy, Physiology and Neuroscience
Assuming the brain consumes approx 30Watts and there are 100 Billion cells that means each cell uses 300 Pico Watts ? Since Power in Watts is Volts times Current then current in each cell is 300 Pico Watts divided by the voltage in each cell.. if for instance the voltage is 3 Volts then there will be 100 Pico amps in each cell ?? Seems of right magnitude ? Rod LLoyd Wales ,Uk
