The action potential occurs when the voltage across a cell membrane experiences an increase from the...
The action potential occurs when the voltage across a cell membrane experiences an increase from the resting potential (−70.mV) to about 30.mV. This depolarization, in turn, causes a similar response all along the cell membrane; the result is an electrical impulse that sends a signal along the axon of a neuron. The cell membranes can be about 5.0nm across and have an electric field across them due to the change in potential. What is the electric field across the membrane at the time of the action potential?

In its resting state, the membrane surrounding a neuron is
permeable to potassium ions but only slightly permeable to sodium
ions. Thus, positive K ions can flow through the membrane in an
attempt to equalize K concentration, but Na ions cannot as quickly.
This leads to an excess of Na ions outside of the cell. If the
space outside the cell is defined as zero electric potential, then
the electric potential of the interior of the cell is negative.
This...
