if a cell wall maintains an electric field of 360 N/C and is 6.4 nm thick,...
Cell membranes (the walled enclosure around a cell) are typically about d = 7.0 nm thick. They are partially permeable to allow charged material to pass in and out, as needed. Equal but opposite charge densities build up on the inside and outside faces of such a membrane, and these charges prevent additional charges from passing through the cell wall. We can model a cell membrane as a parallel-plate capacitor, with the membrane itself containing proteins embedded in an organic...
Potassium ions (K+)(K+) move across a 9.0-nm-9.0-nm-thick cell membrane from the inside to the outside. The potential inside the cell is −60.0 mV,−60.0 mV, and the potential outside is zero. What is the change in the electrical potential energy Δ? electricΔU electric of the potassium ions as they move across the membrane? Δ? electric = ... J?
A typical cell has an electric potential difference across its cell membrane, The electric potential interior to the cell is 70mV less than that on the exterior. Under certain circumstances, the cell can redistribute charge so that the electric potential inside is 40 mV greater than that outside. Assuming the membrane is 12 nm thick and that the net electric field inside it is uniform, how does that field change in the transition from having an interior that is 70...

The fluids inside and outside a cell are good conductors separated by the cell wall, which is a dielectric. Thus the cell has capacitance; charge may be stored on its inner and outer surfaces (see the figure below). It is a good approximation to treat the thin charged layer as a parallel-plate capacitor. Typically the wall is 9.50 x 10-9 m thick and has a dielectric constant of 5.00. (everybody's responses to this question before were incorrect so I need...
