Equilibrium Potentials and Driving Force

Ions move in response to concentration gradients and voltage gradients... but when the ions move, the gradients change! WHY do they move? Do they ever reach an equilibrium? Do you really need physics to understand this? Not really - although I throw it in at the end! Don't worry - it's the Nernst Equation, Penguin Prof Style!
