As potassium diffuses down its concentration gradient,it moves out of the cell.However,this movement is resisted by the accumulating negative charge outside the cell.As potassium diffuses out of a cell,positive charges accumulate outside the cell (due to both potassium and sodium).This serves as some resistance against potassium diffusion and contributes to an equilibrium that is reached.
