The Chord Conductance Equation for the M Em Brane Potential

Question

The chord conductance equation for the m em brane potential is valid
A) All the time
B) Only when dV/dt =0
C) Only at the resting membrane potential
D) Only at the equilibrium potential
E) Only at the peak of the action potential

Accepted Answer

The chord conductance equation for the membrane potential is valid only when the rate of change of the membrane potential over time (dV/dt) is equal to zero, meaning the membrane potential is not currently changing. This typically occurs when the membrane is at a steady state, not actively depolarizing or repolarizing.
