Chapter , Problem 36(choose chapter or problem)
The membrane surrounding a living cell consists of an inner and an outer wall that are separated by a small space. Assume that the membrane acts like a parallel plate capacitor in which the effective charge density on the inner and outer walls has a magnitude of 7.1 3 1026 C/m2 . (a) What is the magnitude of the electric fi eld within the cell membrane? (b) Find the magnitude of the electric force that would be exerted on a potassium ion (K1; charge 5 1e) placed inside the membrane.
