10. -0 points My Notes Ask Your Tea The fluids inside and outside a cell are good conductors separated by the cell wall, which is a dielectric. Thus the cell has capacitance; charge may be stored on its inner and outer surfaces (see the figure below). It is a good approximation to treat the thin charged layer as a parallel-plate capacitor. Typically the wall is 1.20 x 10-8 m thick and has a dielectric constant of 5.00. Cell membrane (a)...
