Reversal potential, also known as equilibrium potential, is a concept in electrochemistry and neuroscience that refers to the membrane potential at which the net flow of a specific ion across a cell membrane is zero. In other words, it is the voltage at which the chemical gradient (concentration difference) for that ion is exactly balanced by the electrical gradient (voltage difference) across the membrane, resulting in no net movement of the ion in or out of the cell.
