Specifically speaking, membrane conductivity represents only the membrane s resistance to flow of protons (H+) and is highly dependant on its thickness (cp) and water content. Electrical resistance of electrodes, cell interconnects, and the formation of any insulating layer on the electrode surface are all bundled under the conductivity term. Voltage decreases for a given current as temperature increases and can be controlled to improve stack efficiency. 

In some applications, the electric resistivity of electrodes cannot be neglected, for instance in thin wire or strip electrodes carrying important currents [ 4 ] > [ 5], [122]. The new boundary conditions on elec-... 

Ohmic losses. The losses appeared thanks to electrical resistance of electrodes and bipolar plates, and resistance of electrolyte against ion flow are the simplest for understanding and modelling. The value of voltage drop, which is connected mainly with resistance of electrotyte, is equal to electrical current. (Kopriva et al. 2007)... 

In addition to the overvoltage losses due to electrode kinetics, one has to take into account the voltage loss in the ion-conducting electrolyte, due to the finite electrolyte conductivity, and (minimized) losses due to the electric resistance of electrode and cell materials, including contact resistances. 

The aperture impedance principle of blood cell counting and sizing, also called the Coulter principle (5), exploits the high electrical resistivity of blood cell membranes. Red blood cells, white blood cells, and blood platelets can all be counted. In the aperture impedance method, blood cells are first diluted and suspended ia an electrolytic medium, then drawn through a narrow orifice (aperture) separating two electrodes (Fig. 1). In the simplest form of the method, a d-c current flows between the electrodes, which are held at different electrical potentials. The resistive cells reduce the current as the cells pass through the aperture, and the current drop is sensed as a change in the aperture resistance. 

For the electrolysis of a solution to be maintained, the potential applied to the electrodes of the cell (Eapp ) must overcome the decomposition potential of the electrolyte (ED) (which as shown above includes the back e.m.f. and also any overpotential effects), as well as the electrical resistance of the solution. Thus, Eapp must be equal to or greater than (ED + IR), where / is the electrolysis current, and R the cell resistance. As electrolysis proceeds, the concentration of the cation which is being deposited decreases, and consequently the cathode potential changes. 

Once in an operational battery, the separator should be physically and chemically stable to the electrochemical environment inside the cell. The separator should prevent migration of particles between electrodes, so the effective pore size should be less than 1pm. Typically, a Li-ion battery might be used at a C rate, which corresponds to 1-3 mAcm2, depending on electrode area the electrical resistivity of the separator should not limit battery performance under any conditions. 

Where RW of basic good quality is supplied for LP steam boilers (that is, firebox, Scotch marine, cast-iron sectional boilers, etc. at operating pressures below 15 psig) and where the MU water volume demand exceeds 5% of the FW, pretreatment by ion-exchange softening should be additionally provided. This rule also applies to electrical resistance boilers, electrode boilers, vertical boilers, and coil boilers.

Now an equivalent circuit, which takes into account both the ion transport along the TC and the charge transfer through the carbon electrode material to the current collector, may be represented as in Fig. 2, wherein N = a(c)/4r, Cm and Rm are the total NP capacitance and resistance in a unit electrode volume (defined here as a product of a unit electrode area and the tier thickness), Re is the electrical resistance of an electrode in the same unit... 

Due to polarisation processes in the electrode/mobile phase boundary layer and potential drop (IR-drop) caused by electrical resistance of the mobile phase (in case of poorly conducting mobile phases) the potential applied on the auxiliary electrode versus the working electrode may differ substantially from the potential of the mobile phase versus the working electrode. Moreover, polarisation and electrical resistance are strongly influenced by mobile phase composition while IR-drop is also dependent on the current between the auxiliary and working electrodes. 

At low coverage, the Tafel slope will be 2RT/3F or c. 40 mV, as observed on high at.% Ru electrodes. As the at.% Ru decreases, the number of Ru sites decrease, resulting in more coverage of the active Ru sites by 0ac]. Hence 0ad will approach 1 and the Tafel slope will tend to reach values of 2RT/F or 120 mV, thus potentially explaining the results in Fig. 5.3. Alternatively, this change in the Tafel slope may arise from an increase in the electrical resistivity of the low at.% Ru electrodes, during the course of the chlorine evolution reaction [35]. 

A suspension of particles in an electrolyte is drawn through a small orifice on either side of which is positioned an electrode. A constant electrical current supply is connected to the electrodes and the electrolyte within the orifice constitutes the main resistive component of the circuit. As particles enter the orifice they displace an equivalent volume of electrolyte, thereby producing a change in the electrical resistance of the circuit, the magnitude of which is related to the displaced volume. The consequent voltage pulse across the electrodes is fed to a multi-channel analyser. The distribution of pulses arising from the passage of many thousands of particles is then processed to provide a particle (volume) size distribution. 

The volume resistivity is the electrical resistance of a polymer sample of unit area and unit thickness when electrodes placed on two opposite faces apply an electrical potential across it. The volume resistivity is expressed in ohm.cm.
