The outer surface of the axon has a positive charge at resting membrane potential. True or false?

The outer surface of the axon has a positive charge at resting membrane potential. True or false? Correct Answer True

At resting membrane potential, the concentration of sodium ions is high outside the axonal membrane. Due to the sodium-potassium pump, the outer surface of the axon has a positive charge.
