The voltage difference across an 8.3 nanometer thick cell membrane is 6.5 x 10-5volts.
What is the magnitude of the electric field inside this cell membrane? (Assume the field is uniform, and give your answer as the number of Volts per meter... which is the same as the number of Newtons per Coulomb.)
Three identical capacitors are connected in parallel. When this parallel assembly of capacitors is connected to a 12 volt battery, a total of 3.1 x 10-5 coulombs flows through the battery. What is the capacitance of one individual capacitor? (Give your answer as the number of Farads.)
Suppose you construct your own capacitor by placing two parallel plates at a distance 0.27 meters apart. The plates each have a surface area of 0.64 square meters. What is the capacitance of this setup? (Give your answer as the number of Farads.)

- Suppose there are two transformers between your house and the high-voltage transmission line that distributes the power. In addition, assume your house is the only one using electric power. At a substation the primary of a step-down transformer (turns ratio = 1:23) receives the voltage from the high-voltage transmission line. Because of your usage, a current of 51.1 mA exists in the primary of the transformer. The secondary is connected to the primary of another step- down transformer (turns ratio = 1:36) somewhere near your house, perhaps up on a telephone pole. The secondary of this transformer delivers a 240-V emf to your house. How much power is your house using? Remember that the current and voltage given in this problem are rms values.arrow_forwardIn some places, insect "zappers," with their blue lights, are a familiar sight on a summer's night.
