The discussion focuses on calculating current during the electrolysis of water using a 9V battery. Participants emphasize the importance of measuring resistance with electrodes submerged in water to determine current flow. The presence of gas bubbles generated during electrolysis complicates current predictions, as they interfere with conduction. For resistivity experiments without gas formation, using low-voltage AC is recommended instead of DC from a battery.
PREREQUISITESStudents, hobbyists, and professionals interested in electrolysis, electrical engineering, and experimental physics will benefit from this discussion.
Predicting the current is not possible. I presume you will add electrolyte so some water dissociates to gases? As soon as DC flows bubbles of gas start to accumulate on the electrodes and this interferes with their conduction of current into the solution. For more current, you can try larger electrodes with their larger surface area, but these, too, will become coated with gas. You can agitate the vessel or components to try to dislodge some bubbles and the situation certainly reaches an equilibrium, but I don't think it is easily predicted.lasha1 said:I want to know how to conduct I ampere current through solution.
For example i have 9V battery and 1 liter of water and i conducted electricity through water. How to calculate the current ?
