Half Electrolysis: Battery & Choke Coil Setup

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the construction and working principles of a Half Electrolysis setup involving a metal plate, salt water, a choke coil, and a battery. The choke coil is connected to a battery via a Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) switch, allowing current to flow through the choke when activated. The setup is designed to explore whether the induced voltage from the choke can trigger either cathodic or anodic reactions in the salt water trough.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electrolysis principles
  • Familiarity with choke coils and their function in electrical circuits
  • Knowledge of SPST switch operation
  • Basic concepts of cathode and anode reactions
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the effects of induced voltage on electrolysis reactions
  • Explore the design and applications of choke coils in electrical systems
  • Study the principles of electrochemical reactions in saltwater
  • Investigate safety protocols for working with batteries and electrolysis setups
USEFUL FOR

Electrochemists, electrical engineers, hobbyists experimenting with electrolysis, and anyone interested in the practical applications of choke coils in electrochemical processes.

CONSTRUCTION:
-In the following figure a metal plate is immersed in a Trough of salt water, the wire hooked to plate is attached to a choke coil and the other end of choke coil is Grounded deep inside soil.
-A battery is shorted via this choke and a SPST switch to flow the current via choke
WORKING:
- when the SPST is open the large voltage created by choke will pass current from Earth into/away to the salt water trough.
- will this induce either the cathode or anode reaction to take place singly ?
