Question

What is the strength of the electric field inside the membrane just before the action potential?

Answer 1

Answer:

Incomplete question, check attachment for the graph needed to solve problem.

A 8.1nm........

Explanation:

Electric Field is given as

E=V/d

Where V is voltage

And d is the distance apart

E is the electric field

The voltage V just before action of potential is -70mV,

The value d=8.1nm

d=8.1×10^-9m

E=V/d

E=-70×10^-3/8.1×10^-9

E=-8.6×10^6 N/C

Then the magnitude of the electric field is 8.6×10^6N/C
