From Wikipedia... membrane potential

Electric potential difference between interior and exterior of a biological cell

Membrane potential is the difference in electric potential between the interior and the exterior of a biological cell. It equals the interior potential minus the exterior potential. This is the energy per charge which is required to move a positive charge at constant velocity across the cell membrane from the exterior to the interior.
