Answer #1

If Na+ Channel is suddenly made or opened during resting potential it will lead to depolarisation, which in turn will open more Na+ channels. This will continue till the limit is reached and then the cycle to achieve the equilibrium starts. The Na+ channels close even though there is depolarisation and this state is called as inactivation.

This was explained by the neurobiologists, Hodgkin and Huxley in the 1950s.
