Consider a neuron in which only potassium and chlorine ions are present in the cellular fluid. The concentrations for potassium are C subscript K superscript i space equals space 140 mM and C subscript K superscript o space equals space 5.00  mM. The concentrations for chlorine are C subscript C l end subscript superscript i space equals space 4.00  mM and  C subscript C l end subscript superscript o space equals space 110 mM. The valence (ion charge) of potassium and chlorine ions is +1 and -1, respectively. Assume that the effective resistances for the potassium and chlorine channels are 13.0 MΩ and 5.00 MΩ, respectively. Calculate the equilibrium membrane potential for this neuron.

Beskou ’n neuron waarin daar slegs kalium en chloor ione teenwoordig is in die sellulêre vloeistof. Die konsentrasies vir kalium is C subscript K superscript i space equals space 140  mM en  C subscript K superscript o space equals space 5.00 mM. Die konsentrasies vir chloor is C subscript C l end subscript superscript i space equals space 4.00  mM en  C subscript C l end subscript superscript o space equals space 110 mM. Die valensie (ioon-lading) van kalium en chloor ione is +1 en -1, respektiewelik. Aanvaar dat die effektiewe weerstand van die kalium en chloor kanale is 13.0 MΩ en 5.00 MΩ, respektiewelik. Bereken die ekwilibrium membraan potensiaal vir hierdie neuron.
