Abstract
Current‐time behavior is predicted following a step‐change in applied potential for electrolysis at a straight wire electrode of high resistance in unstirred solution. Transport equations are integrated by finite difference techniques on a digital computer. Six classes of electrode behavior are described in accord with the relative importance of diffusion, charge‐transfer, and ohmic resistance effects. A high electrode resistance leads to nonuniform current distribution along the wire whereas diffusion resistance in the electrolyte causes appreciable transient current decay.
