Abstract
IT has been recognized for several years that when a conducting electrode is placed in an electrolyte in which there is an alternating potential gradient, it can assume a potential different from that expected1. In particular, it is generally found that the electrode potential is out of phase with the potential in the electrolyte by a variable amount. So far as I know, no explanation has been offered for the effect.
