A cell membrane consists of an inner and outer wall separated by a distance of approximately 10nm. Assume that the walls act lik

e a parallel plate capacitor, each with a charge density of 10-5C/m2, and the outer wall is positively charged. Although unrealistic, assume that the space between cell walls is filled with air.
What is the magnitude of the electric field between the membranes?

a. 1×10^-6N/C
b. 1×10^-15N/C
c. 5×10^-5N/C
d. 9×10^-2N/C

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field between the membranes is  1.13 x 10⁶ N/C

Explanation:

Given;

the distance of separation of the parallel plate capacitor, d =  10nm

the charge density, σ = 10⁻⁵C/m²

the magnitude of the electric field between the membranes, is calculated using the formula below;

E = σ / ε₀

Where;

ε₀ is permittivity of free space, = 8.85 x 10⁻¹² C²/Nm²

E is magnitude of the electric field between the membranes

σ is surface charge density

E = (10⁻⁵) / (8.85 x 10⁻¹²)

E = 1.13 x 10⁶ N/C

Therefore, the magnitude of the electric field between the membranes is  1.13 x 10⁶ N/C

A 3.0-A current is maintained in a simple circuit that consists of a resistor between the terminals of an ideal battery. If the
harina [27]

Answer:

R=2.78\ \Omega

Explanation:

Given that,

The current flowing in the circuit, I = 3 A

The power of the battery, P = 25 W

We need to find the resistance of the battery. We know that the power of the battery is given by the formula as follows :

P=I^2R

Put all the values to find R.

R=\dfrac{P}{I^2}\\\\R=\dfrac{25}{(3)^2}\\\\R=2.78\ \Omega

So, the resistance is equal to 2.78\ \Omega.

A coil is connected in series with a 19.0 kΩ resistor. An ideal 50.0 V battery is applied across the two devices, and the curren
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

inductance of the coil 29.3767  H

Explanation:

given data

resistor R =  19.0 kΩ = 19 × 10³ Ω

potential applied V  = 50.0 V

current I = 2.20 mA  =  2.20 × 10^{-3} A

time t = 2.80 ms = 2.80 × 10^{-3} s

solution

we know for maximum current in circuit that is

current = V ÷ R   .........1

current =  \frac{50}{19\times 10^3}

current = 2.63 × 10^{-3} A

so at time t = 0

t = -\frac{L}{R} ln(1-\frac{I_f}{I_{max}})  

2.80 \times 10^{-3} = -\frac{L}{19\times 10^3} ln(1-\frac{2.20\times 10^{-3}}{2.63\times 10^{-3}}})  

L = 29.3767
