The inner and outer surfaces of a cell membrane carry a negative and positive charge respectively. Because of these charges, a potential difference of about 70 mV exists across the membrane. The thickness of the membrane is 8 nm. If the membrane were empty (filled with air), what would the magnitude of the electric field inside the membrane

The magnitude of the electric field inside the membrane is 8.8×10⁶V/m

Explanation:

The electric field due to electric potential at a distance Δs is given by

E=ΔV/Δs

We have to find the magnitude electric field in the membrane

Ecell= -ΔV/Δs

The magnitude of the electric field inside the membrane is 8.8×10⁶V/m

the skeletons of most mammals reach a certain size and then stop growing. however, many animals, including some mammals, keep growing throughout their lives. kangaroos, for example, just keep growing and growing until they die. also, the longer an animal lives the greater the chance it might catch some deadly disease.
