Answer:

The electric field is 8.75 \times 10^{6}~v~m^{-1} and the ditection is from outer to inner side of the membrane.

Explanation:

We know the electric field (\vec{E}) is given by \vec{E} = - \nabla V, 'V' being the potential.

In 1-D, it can be written as

E=\dfrac{V}{d}

where 'd' is the separation of space in between the potential difference is created.

Given, V = 0.070~V~ and the thickness of the cell membrane is d = 8.0 \times 10^{-9}~m.

Therefore the created electric field through the cell membrane is

E = \dfrac{0.07~V}{8 \times 10^{-9}~m} = 8.75 \times 10^{6}~m~s^{-1}

Amiraneli [1.4K]
Mountains, tops of buildings, and high-flying aircraft are all part of Earth's atmosphere, no matter how high they are. On the other hand, space doesn't belong to our atmosphere, it is outside of it. Having this in mind, the best location to place a telescope used to observe x-rays from stars is in space.
