Neurons are components of the nervous system of the body that transmit signals as electric impulses travel along their length. These impulses propagate when the charge suddenly rushes into and then out of a part of the neuron called an axon. Measurements have shown that, during the inflow part of this cycle, approximately 5.6×10^{11}Na+ (sodium ions) per meter, each with charge +e, enters the axon. How many coulombs of charge enters a 1.5-cm length of the axon during this process?
