Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An electrical current traveling down a wire is analogous to an action potential, which is a momentary change in electrical potential on the surface of a neuron that occurs when it is stimulated and an electrical impulse is transmitted. When there is no electrical current moving, it is similar to the resting potential, which is the difference in electric charge between the inside and outside of a neuron's cell membrane when the neuron is not active.
