The net charge difference across the membrane, just like the charge difference across the plates of a capacitor, is what leads to the voltage across the membrane. How much excess charge (in picocoulombs, where 1 pc = 1x10-12 C) must lie on either side of the membrane of an axon of length 2 cm to provide this potential difference (0.07 V) across the membrane? You may consider that a net positive charge with this value lies just outside the axon cell wall, and a negative charge with this value lies just inside cell wall, like the equal and opposite charges on capacitor plates. Again, make sure to include LaTeX: \kappa=7κ = 7 for the lipid bilayer.

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 7.0 × 10-6 c/m2. (a) what is the magnitude of the electric field within the cell membrane? (b) find the magnitude of the electric force that would be exerted on a potassium ion (k+; charge = +e) placed inside the membrane.
