Apr 16, 2019 at 18:25 | comment | added | S.C. | Just so other people know, I put this question over in the physics stacks, and the only person that answered stated that each side must be electrically neutral. So, I don't know if your answer is necessarily correct. Further, I don't agree with your logic. The Nernst Equation can also be reinterpreted as the voltage at which the electrical force and diffusive forces are balanced. So if one compartment has a fundamentally different electric potential, then the electrical force experienced by the permeable ion should be fundamentally different. | |
