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.

The star betelgeuse is about 600 light-years away. if it explodes tonight, a. we'll know because debris from the explosion will rain down on us from space.b. we'll know it immediately because it will be brighter than the full moon in the sky.c. we won't know about it until 600 years from now.d. none of the above.
