Answer:
Voltage, V = 0.0741 volts
Explanation:
It is given that,
Width of membrane, [tex]d=8.47\ nm=8.47\times 10^{-9}\ m[/tex]
Electric field strength, [tex]E=8.76\ MV/m=8.76\times 10^6\ V/m[/tex]
We need to find the voltage across membrane. Electric field is given by :
[tex]E=\dfrac{V}{d}[/tex]
[tex]V=E\times d[/tex]
[tex]V=8.76\times 10^6\ V/m\times 8.47\times 10^{-9}\ m[/tex]
V = 0.0741 V
So, the voltage across the membrane is 0.0741 volts. Hence, this is the required solution.
