The membrane that surrounds a certain type of living cell has a surface area of 5.3 x 10-9 m2 and a thickness of 1.1 x 10-8 m. assume that the membrane behaves like a parallel plate capacitor and has a dielectric constant of 5.9. (a) the potential on the outer surface of the membrane is 85.9 mv greater than that on the inside surface. how much charge resides on the outer surface?

Explanation:

We are given that

Surface area of membrane=

Thickness of membrane=

Assume that membrane behave like a parallel plate capacitor.

Dielectric constant=5.9

Potential difference between surfaces=85.9 mV

We have to find the charge resides on the outer surface of membrane.

Capacitance between parallel plate capacitor is given by

Substitute the values then we get

Capacitance between parallel plate capacitor=

V=

Hence, the charge resides on the outer surface=

the first american roller coaster was the mauch chunk switchback railway, built in the mountains of pennsylvania in the mid-1800s. the track, originally built to send coal to a railway, was reconfigured as a "scenic tour."

adding a(n) to an electric circuit would increase the magnetic field around a wire;

b. solenoid

a solenoid is a type of electromagnet whose purpose is to generate a controlled magnetic field.

if the purpose of the solenoid is instead to impede changes in the electric current, a solenoid can be more specifically classified as an inductor rather than an electromagnet.
