AI Thread Summary
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is being explored through two circuits that yield the same Nyquist plot, with the left-most resistor indicating solution resistance. The discussion seeks to connect these circuits to real-world scenarios and enhance understanding of more complex systems beyond basic models like the Randles circuit. Participants suggest various resources, including Wikipedia articles on dielectric spectroscopy and complex impedance, to aid in comprehension. There is an emphasis on the need for a solid mathematical foundation to interpret complex impedances effectively. Overall, the conversation highlights the importance of deeper research and understanding in EIS applications.

Hi all,

I'm fairly new to electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). On some slides I was given, I have been provided with two circuits which would produce the same nyquist plot. I was wondering what real-world scenario these circuits would relate to. I know that the left-most resistor in each represents the resistance of the solution, but am unsure about the rest of each circuit. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, or resources which I can look at to get a better understanding.

Welcome to PF.

Is this for schoolwork? What information sources do you have for this work?
 
This is my own research. I've read a few tutorials that only consider simple systems (e.g: Randles circuit), but am looking to see how more complex scenarios fit.

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'
Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
