Given that the electric field between the plates (inside the membrane) is about 107 N/C and the thickness of the membrane is about 7 nm, estimate the acceleration of the ion in nm/s2 if it were in the channel (and the channel were empty). The ion is an Na+.

Given that the electric field between the plates (inside the membrane) is about 107 N/C and the thickness of the membrane is about 7 nm, estimate the electric force on the ion in newtons when it is in the channel.
Rolling down the electric hill Distributions of electric charges in a cell play a role in moving ions into and out of a cell. In this situation, the motion of the ion is affected by two forces: the electric force due to the non uniform charge distribution in the cell membrane, and the resistive force (viscosity) due to colliding with the fluid molecules. In order to begin our analysis of this, let's consider a toy model in which the ion...

The electric field between two parallel plates is uniform, with magnitude 576 N/C. A proton is held stationary at the positive plate, and an electron is held stationary at the negative plate. The plate separation is 4.30 cm. At the same moment, both particles are released (a) Calculate the distance (in cm) from the positive plate at which the two pass each other. Ignore the electrical attraction between the proton and electron cm (b) Repeat part (a) for a sodium...

(ex) The electric field is 1.20 times 10^6 N/C between plates 1 and 2, but is zero everywhere else in the figure. The magnetic field is 0.600 T everywhere in the figure. After passing straight through the region between the plates, aluminum ions enter the region with only a magnetic field, move in a circular path of radius 0.899 m there, and finally hit the photographic plate. a) The region between plates 1 and 2 is a "velocity selector": Only...
