Membranes in living cells, including those in humans, are characterized by a separation of charge across the membrane. Effectively, the membranes are thus charged capacitors with important functions related to the potential difference across the membrane. Is energy required to separate these charges in living membranes and, if so, is its source the metabolization of food energy or some other source?
How does the energy contained in a charged capacitor change when a dielectric is inserted, assuming the capacitor is isolated and its charge is constant? Does this imply that work was done?
Two parallel conducting plates are separated by \(10.0{\rm{ }}cm\), and one of them is taken to be at zero volts. (a) What is the electric field strength between them, if the potential \(8.00{\rm{ }}cm\) from the zero-volt plate (and \(2.00{\rm{ }}cm\) from the other) is \(450{\rm{ }}V\)? (b) What is the voltage between the plates?
