Question

Estimate the capacitance of a lipid bilayer. Consider only electrically insulating part of the bilayer, the lipid tails, as a layer with thickness of 2 nm. The dielectric constant of oil is εoil/ε0=2.

Answer 1

need to know that area to work out C
\[C = k \epsilon 0 A/d \]

we know all the terms above except A
