The membrane around a cell normally has layers of charge that create a potential difference
between its outer and inner surfaces. This difference is about 84 mV. When a singly ionized
potassium ion moves channel in The membrane passing from The outside to The inside , what is
The magnitude of The work done by The electric field of The membrane?
Solution
work done = charge * voltage = 1.6 * 10-19 * 84 * 10-3= 1.344 * 10-20.
