Is the affect on a cell between two negatively charged plates theoretically similar to between a positively and negatively charged plate? In other words, would it induce charges on the inside and outside like in the other case:

But it would induce negative charges on the left and right outer sides of the membrane and positive charges on the inner sides:

  • $\begingroup$ Affect or effect? Sounds like the electricity has an effect. It follows the path of least resistance and most cells are generally insulative, blood and nerves probably look a bit like your illustrations. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Tom From the help: "You should only ask practical, answerable questions based on actual problems that you face". This seems like a toy physics problem rather than a biology one. I can ask at physics and see if they want it. $\endgroup$
