Abstract

In this paper, the action potential through membrane is calculated and analyzed based on the crowd model. The analysis shows that membrane action potential will be amplified if the coefficient k1, k2 meet some certain conditions. This effect could cause ionic current increase and even results in electroporation, membrane broken. The result can be used to explain some athermal bioeffect of living beings in weak EMF and is helpful for biomedicine application.
