Answer

$E=7.0\times 10^5\frac{V}{m}$

Work Step by Step

We know that $E=\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta d}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $E=\frac{0.070}{0.10\times 10^{-6}}$ $E=7.0\times 10^5\frac{V}{m}$ As we know that the electric field is directed from higher to lower potential, thus the electric field is directed inward across the cell membrane.
