Which condition is a neuron in when the outside of the neuron has a net positive charge and the inside has a net negative charge?. Threshold. Action potential . Resting potential

The condition is a neuron in when the outside of the neuron has a net positive charge and the inside has a net negative charge (due to accumulation of more sodium ions) is C. resting potential. The resting membrane potential of a neuron is approximately -70 mV (mV=millivolt)

Answer:

Resting potential

Explanation:

As we know that all the charges are stored inside and outside the neuron in form of positive and negative charge on inner and outer surface.

These charges are stored and remains at rest on the inner and outer surface due to there mutual electric field.

So here the energy must be in the form of electrostatic potential energy where charge is in stationary condition.

So Neuron in this case will hold this charge and hence it will store this electrostatic energy in it due to this stationary charge distribution.

So here the correct answer will be

RESTING POTENTIAL
