Difference between polarised and repolarised??

Normally our cell plasma membrane has difference in charge between the inside and outside due to difference of electrolyte concentration. Theses differences call polarization.

Let?s say in polarization state, the outside of the membrane is positively charged and the inside of the membrane is negatively charged.

Due to movement of electrolyte via plasma membrane, it will create the changes of charge outside and inside the cell.

Depolarization is the state which the cell membrane change from positive to negative charged outside the cell and from negative to positive charge inside the cell.

Repolarization is the state which the cell membrane change back it resting stat, mean from negative to positive charge outside the cell and from positive to negative charge inside the cell.
