Calculating the Uncompensated Solution Resistance for a Few Simple Geometries

Calculating the Uncompensated Solution Resistance for a Few Simple Geometries 

As a rule, thejRs potential drop is measured and a suitable correction is made, either directly during measurement or in the analysis of the data. When the geometry of the cell is simple, it is possible to calculate this quantity. Such calculations are important because they can yield clear criteria for the design of cells and for positioning the reference electrode with respect to the working electrode, as will be shown below.
