Calculate the charge and capacitance


Neurons are electrically excitable cells. Their cell membranes can act as parallel-plate capacitors and create a potential difference. In neurons, the typical resting membrane potential is approximately -64 mV. You have 1.01 x 106 Na+ ions on one side. Considering this system as a parallel-plate suggests that the other side has equal and opposite corresponding charge. Calculate the charge and capacitance of this biological capacitor.
