Equilibrium Potential
-Ex=diffusion potential where net ion flux=zero, from neutralization of chemical and electrical forces<br></br>-diffusion K out of cell= self limiting<br></br>-neg charge w/in cell bc of K efflux attracts positive K back into cell<br></br>-large neg charge w./in cell (Ex) so K diffuses back in (electric force) at same rate they diffused out bc of conc diff<br></br>-Ek=net flux of K across membrane= 0 influx=efflux<br></br>-Ex depends on conc gradient of ion, not on permeability of membrane<br></br>-permeable to only ONE type of ion then membrane potential will move to Ex of that ion
