### Description

#### Part A: Graph of End-Plate Potential and Current

- **End-Plate Potential (Red Line)**
  - The graph shows a plot of end-plate potential over time, marked by four phases:
    1. Initial phase
    2. Rising phase
    3. Peak phase
    4. Decline phase
  - The potential is measured in millivolts (mV) and the time duration is represented over 2 milliseconds (ms).

- **Current (Purple Line)**
  - The current graph shows two main components: capacitive current (Ic) and leak current (Il).
  - I_EPSP is also marked and reflects excitatory postsynaptic potential-related current.

#### Part B: Circuit Models at Different Times

- **Time 1: Steady State (I_EPSP = 0)**
  - Represented by open channels in the synaptic membrane.
  - The intracellular side is marked with E_EPSP and I_EPSP = 0.

- **Time 2: Dynamic (Onset of Synaptic Action)**
  - I_EPSP is the sum of Ic and Il.
  - Circuit shows movement of ions across channels and capacitors representing membrane capacitance (C_m).

- **Time 3: Steady State (Peak of Synaptic Action)**
  - I_EPSP equals Il, Ic = 0.
  - Voltage across the membrane (E_i).

- **Time 4: Dynamic (Decline of Synaptic Action)**
  - I_EPSP consists of -Ic and Il.
  - Similar circuit model as Time 2.

### Question

If the same I_EPSP was present in a cell that had twice as much membrane capacitance but was otherwise the same, what would NOT happen?

- The EPSP would get smaller in amplitude
- The capacitive current would be twice as big
- The EPSP would last longer
- The leak current would be smaller
