Question
Large electric fields in cell membranes cause ions to move through the cell wall, as we will explore in a later chapter. The field strength in a typical membrane is 9.80 10^6 N/C. What is the magnitude of the force on a calcium ion with charge +e?

Answer:
F = 1.568 × 10⁻¹² N
Explanation:
Given: E= 9.80 × 10⁶ N/C,
q = 1.60 × 10⁻¹⁹ C ( charge on calcium ion with charge +e)
To Find: F= ? N
Solution:
We have an equation E = F/q
F= Eq = 9.80 × 10⁶ N/C × 1.60 × 10⁻¹⁹ C
F = 1.568 × 10⁻¹² N
