Question:

When an ion channel opens in a cell wall, monovalent (charge \(e\) ) ions flow through the channel at a rate of \(1.0 \times 10^{7} \mathrm{ions} / \mathrm{s}\).

a. What is the current through the channel?

b. The potential difference across the ion channel is \(70 \mathrm{mV}\). What is the power dissipation in the channel?
