When K+ ions diffuse out of a resting neuron through open potassium leak channels and leave behind unbalanced negative charges that create a negative membrane potential, that pulls K+ back into the neuron.The membrane potential at which the diffusion of K+ out of the cell is balanced by the pull of K+ into the cell is called the potassium
