The unequal distribution of charge in solutions on either side of a membrane will lead to a of charge across the membrane and a of counter ions in a region close to the membrane.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The unequal distribution of charge across a membrane leads to a separation of charge, creating a potential difference. This causes counter ions to cluster near the membrane to balance the charge.
