What is resting potential?

What occurs during the repolarization of a nerve fiber?

When a neuron is not conducting any impulse,the axonal membrane is comparatively more permeable to $K^+$ ions and nearly impermeable to $Na^+$ ions.

The jumping of action potential from node to node (of $Ranvier$) in a nerve fibre is called:

Which of the following statement/s is/are correct with respect to generation and conduction of nerve impulse?
i. The resting potential difference is $-70 \text{ mV}$.
ii. The voltage-gated $Na^{+}$ and $K^{+}$ channels operate together and are self-closing.
iii. At the peak of action potential,the potential difference rises to $+30$ to $+60 \text{ mV}$.
iv. In medullated nerve fibre,the action potential is conducted as a wave of membrane depolarization.
v. The resting potential is maintained by the closure of gated channels of $Na^{+}$ and $K^{+}$.
