The membrane surrounding a living cell consists of an inner and anouter wall that are separated by a small space. Assume that themembrane acts like a parallel plate capacitor in which theeffective charge density on the inner and outer walls has amagnitude of 5.79 x 10-6 C/m2. (a) What is the magnitude of theelectric field within the cell membrane? (b) Find the magnitude ofthe electric force that would be exerted on a potassium ion (K+;charge = +e) placed inside the membrane.
Please include the picture, work, and answers.
