Large electric fields in cell membranes cause ions to movethrough the cell wall. The field strength in a typical membrane is1.0 x 10 7 N/C. What is the magnitude of the force on a calcium ionwith charge +e? What is its acceleration?

Is it possible for a particle with the same charge as as calciumto have a different acceleration if placed at this location?

What would change the acceleration: mass of the particle?diameter of the particle?
