Bioelectricity: Electric model of the cell membrane
Calculating the Nernst potential: Nernst potential
Use the following Nernst equation to calculate the equilibrium potential in mV for an ion with a semi-permeable membrane
Compute the equilibrium potential for the ion when the concentration inside the cell equals and outside the cell . Round to one decimal place.
where is the valence of the ion, is the ion concentration inside the cell, is the ion concentration outside the cell, and the base 10 logarithm is used.
Compute the equilibrium potential for the ion when the concentration inside the cell equals and outside the cell . Round to one decimal place.
