A typical cell has a membrane potential of , meaning that the potential inside the cell is less than the potential outside due to a layer of negative charge on the inner surface of the cell wall and a layer of positive charge on the outer surface. This effectively makes the cell wall a charged capacitor. Because a cell's diameter is much larger than the wall thickness, it is reasonable to ignore the curvature of the cell and think of it as a parallel-plate capacitor. How much energy is stored in the electric field of a diameter cell with a thick cell wall whose dielectric constant is ?
The electric potential in a region of space is V=200/2x2+y2,where x and y are in meters. What are the strength and direction of the electric field at 1x, y2=12.0 m, 1.0 m2? Give the direction as an angle cw or ccw (specify which) from the positive x-axis
Figure EX26.3 is a graph of . What is the potential difference between and ?

Two 3.0-cm-diameter aluminum electrodes are spaced 0.50 mm apart. The electrodes are connected to a 100 V battery.
a. What is the capacitance?
b. What is the magnitude of the charge on each electrode?
Engineers discover that the electric potential between two electrodes can be modeled as , where is a constant, is the distance from the first electrode in the direction of the second, and is the distance between the electrodes. What is the electric field strength midway between the electrodes?
