Schematic overview of cable theory's simplified view of a piece of neuronal fiber. When an electrical current is moving along the inside of a fibre the cytosol exerts a resistance ( $r_l$ ). Simultaneously current will escape through the phospholipid bilayer (with resistance $r_m$ ) to the outside; and due to electrostatic forces a buildup of charge ( $c_m$ ) will take place along the bilayer.
