Capacitors

Capacitance of red blood cell Assume that a red blood cell is spherical with a radius of 4 x 10-6 m and with wall thickness of 9 X 10-8 m. The dielectric constant of the membrane is about 5. Assuming the cell is a parallel plate capacitor, estimate the capacitance of the cell and determine the positive charge on the outside and the equal-magnitude negative charge inside when the potential difference across the membrane is 0.080 V.
