Membrane potential

Input(s)

R: Gas Constant $(8.31)(\mathrm{J} / \mathrm{mol} \mathrm{K})$

$T_{a}$: Absolute Temperature (degree K)

F: Faraday Constant (96485.336) (s A/mol)

$a_{1}$: Activities of 1st Electrolyte (dimensionless)

$a_{2}$: Activities of 2nd Electrolyte (dimensionless)

Output(s)

$E_{m}$: Membrane Potential (V)

Formula(s)

$$ E_{m}=\left(R * \frac{T_{a}}{F}\right) * \ln \left(\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}\right) $$
