What is the resting potential of the neuron?

What is the resting potential of the neuron?
  1. Positive charge on the inner surface of the axonal membrane.
  2. Negative charge on the inner surface of the axonal membrane.
  3. Positive charge on the outer surface of the axonal membrane.
  4. Negative charge on the outer surface of the axonal membrane.

Solution

The electrical potential difference across the resting plasma membrane is called as the resting potential. The outer surface of the axonal membrane possesses a positive charge while its inner surface becomes negatively charged.
