Calculate the membrane potential of a neuron at standardtemperature under each of the following conditions: a. Theconcentration of sodium, potassium and chloride is the same on boththe inside and the outside of the membrane. b. The concentration ofions inside and outside the cell are as given below, but therelative permeability is the same for the three ions. c. Theconcentration of ions inside and outside the cell are as givenbelow, but the relative permeability of K+ is 100 times greaterthan that of Na+ and Cl-.
