I know that the carriers of charge that move through a metal wire are electrons. I know that the magnitude of current is directly proportional to the magnitude of electric potential difference between the two points it is moving and inversely proportional to the resistance of the material...
I am having trouble understanding how current can move through an electrolyte solution that does not contain ions of the metal of which the electrode supplying the current is made. For instance, if a silver wire were submerged in a solution of potassium chloride and, how would current pass into...
