How does the resting potential of a typical neuron compare to that of a 1.5V AA alkaline battery?
A typical AA battery has a potential of 1.5V. One can think of the potential in a neuron as having similarities to that of a battery. A. A typical neuron has a resting potential of -70mV, or about 5% the voltage of the battery. B. A typical neuron has a resting potential of -70V, or about 50x the voltage of the battery. C. A typical neuron has a resting potential of +70mV, or about 5% the voltage of the battery. D. A typical neuron has a resting potential of +70V, or about 50x the voltage of the battery.
