Answer: W = J
Explanation: Since the potassium ion is at the outside membrane of a cell and the potential here is lower than the potential inside the cell, the transport will need work to happen.
The work to transport an ion from a lower potential side to a higher potential side is calculated by
q is charge;
ΔV is the potential difference;
Potassium ion has +1 charge, which means:
p = C
To determine work in joules, potential has to be in Volts, so:
Then, work is
To move a potassium ion from the exterior to the interior of the cell, it is required J of energy.
We have here what is known as parallel combination of resistors.
Using the relation:
And then we can turn take the inverse to get the effective resistance.
Where r is the magnitude of the resistance offered by each resistor.
In this case we have,
(every term has an mho in the end)
To ger effective resistance take the inverse:
we get,
The potential difference is of 9V.
So the current flowing using ohm's law,
V = IR
will be, 0.0139 Amperes.
