As we know,

$electric \: \: current = \dfrac{charge}{time}$

so, let's solve for charge (q) :

time = 5 minutes = 5 × 60 seconds = 300 seconds.

$0.2 = \dfrac{q}{300}$

$q = 300 \times 0.2$

$q = 60$

hence, the charge = 60 coulombs (C)

The membrane of a living cell can be approximated by a parallel-plate capacitor with plates of area 4.50×10−9 m2 , a plate separ

Marizza181 [45]

The energy stored in the membrane is $6.44\cdot 10^{-14} J$

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by

$C=\frac{k\epsilon_0 A}{d}$

where

k is the dielectric constant of the material

$\epsilon_0$ is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of the plates

d is the separation between the plates

For the membrane in this problem, we have

k = 4.6

$A=4.50\cdot 10^{-9} m^2$

$d=8.1\cdot 10^{-9} m$

Substituting, we find its capacitance:

$C=\frac{(4.6)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(4.50\cdot 10^{-9})}{8.1\cdot 10^{-9}}=2.26\cdot 10^{-11} F$

Now we can find the energy stored: for a capacitor, it is given by

$U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2$

where

$C=2.26\cdot 10^{-11} F$ is the capacitance

$V=7.55\cdot 10^{-2} V$ is the potential difference

Substituting,

$U=\frac{1}{2}(2.26\cdot 10^{-11} F)(7.55\cdot 10^{-2})^2=6.44\cdot 10^{-14} J$

Which two components must a vector quantity

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

d. Direction and magnitude

Explanation:

The two components of a vector are its magnitude and direction.

Magnitude is the quantity of the substance

Direction is the path.

Other quantities are called scalar quantities.
Scalar quantities have only magnitude but no direction.

Examples of vector quantities are velocity, displacement, acceleration.
