Abstract

This paper dealt only with cases in which the electromotive force used is insufficient to produce decomposition. In such cases the electrodes act as condensers. But the observed law of variation of current-strength with time is not exactly that which holds in the charging of ordinary condensers. The author showed that the deviation could be largely accounted for by the continual increase of transition resistance, the existence of which lie proves in a separate paper on that subject.
