Question: The electric field within the membrane separating the inside and outside of a biological cell is approximately 7.2MV/m and is essentially uniform.

Part A: If the membrane is 17nm thick, what is the potential difference across the membrane?

I need help to solve the above question and express your answer using two significant figures. Need an answer in mV and multiplying the electric field by the membrane thickness doesn't seem to give the correct answer.
