Question: There is a spherical capacitor. Assume that the two spherical shells of the capacitor have radius aa = 9 0 nm and bb = 1

There is a spherical capacitor. Assume that the two spherical shells of the capacitor have radius
aa=90nm and bb=100nm, the interior is dielectric for which rr=3.0.
(a) Calculate the capacitance C.
(b) If the membrane potential is 70mV, calculate the energy stored in the cell membrane.
(The membrane potential is 70mV here means that the potential of the outer shell is
70mV while the inner shell is grounded.)
