This chapter presents the Single Electron Tunneling Capacitor (SETCAP) model to understand the electron-tunneling response to a membrane voltage change and to derive equations based on a circuit analogy. This analogy helps in developing an equation for displacement energy and an equation for capacitance factor for each electron-tunneling site. The SETCAP model is also used for developing the equation for the rate constant for N electron-tunneling site. The variable constants are also discussed in this chapter. Ie, time-constant, capacitance equation which represents steady-state values at any given voltage.
