Answer #1

To eliminates the action potential which is + 35mV, we need to pump more sodium ions outside for this we need to activate Na+- K+ channel while block sodium or potassium channel so that no potassium enter into cells and hence more positive ions could accumulate outside of cells then inside and hence more positive potensial outside compared to inside of cell membrane.

Hope it's clear..thanks
