An observer watches calcium ions (Ca+2) crossing a membrane, and measures a total current density of 256 mA/cm^2 (in the x direction). The particle flux generated by the electric field is 6 x 10^-6 mol/sec•cm^2. If the concentration gradient of calciun ions is 15 x 10^-3 mol/cm^4, what is the diffusion coefficient?
