I have a cylinder that is closed and it contains light ions (sodium ions as they're easier to get) and the solution is saturated. when I turn the cylinder on (apply power) the potential difference is 300 volts. how fast would the ions travel in mPH? ions in nerve cells travel 200+ mPH and the potential difference is very low in a nerve cell so will my ions travel 300 times faster?
