| Abstract | According to Nernst, the differential equation of the diffusion potential is dependent on the concentrations of the ions as well as on their gradient within the diffusion layer itself. Regarding that a potential depends only on the boundary values and must be independent of the gradient, the general solution of this differential equation yields no potential function. In contrast with the general solution, Planck's singular solution of Nernst's equation yields a potential representation. While the general solution can be applied to ions of arbitrary electrochemical valency as well as to arbitrary boundary conditions, Planck's solution must be restricted to ions of equal valency in isotonic solutions.The difficulty of obtaining this potential representation with the help of the classic method of calculus of variations results from the fact that Nernst's arrangement is homogeneous of degree one in the concentration gradients. Thus, Hamilton–Jabobi's fundamental method of the elimination of the slope function in order to obtain a potential representation yields only an identity. Therefore special methods must be considered. Based on Caratheodory's theorem of arbitrary slope functions it could be shown that isotonicity is the necessary condition in order to obtain a potential representation of a diffusion potential. Finally the influence of the osmotic flux on this potential will be discussed with the help of the Onsager relation.Though Planck's theory dealing with the classic exception to the rule presents a singular solution only, this case is realized in biological membranes as shown by Goldman. In this outstanding case the dissipation of energy assumes an extremum value with respect to time and position, and the condition of the constant field is true. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
