There is a potential drop V across the solution between the layer around the working electrode and the tip of the reference probe. This is related to the separation distance d by Equation 1.3 where i is the current flowing through the cell and K is the specific conductivity of the electrolyte. Tire reference electrode probe is... 

An equivalent circuit of the three-electrode cell discussed in Chapters 6 and 7 is illustrated in Figure 9.1. In this simple model, Rr is the resistance of the reference electrode (including the resistance of a reference electrode probe, i.e., salt bridge), Rc is the resistance between the reference probe tip and the auxiliary electrode (which is compensated for by the potentiostat), Ru is the uncompensated resistance between the reference probe and the working-electrode interphase (Rt is the total cell resistance between the auxiliary and working electrodes and is equal to the sum of Rc and Ru), Cdl is the double-layer capacitance of the working-electrode interface, and Zf is the faradaic impedance of the electrode reaction.

Two-electrode probes are suitable for most cooling water applications. Corrections are needed if mpy x solution resistivity >10,000. Three-electrode probes are required only when mpy x solution resistivity >25,000.

Alternatively, for fieldwork, but less exactly, a two-electrode probe placed on the specimen with a 20 mV potential difference applied will settle around Ecor, the current flow can be measured and RP calculated.

In principle, three-electrode EIS measurement is capable of separating the contributions from the anode and the cathode [61], In a three-electrode EIS experiment, as shown in Figure 5.43, the potentiostat, with three electrode probes, is applied to measure signals between the working electrode (WE) and the reference electrode (RE). The counter electrode (CE) is used to collect the induced current from the WE. For a fuel cell, if the anode serves as a WE, the cathode will serve as a CE, and vice versa. In this way, the individual electrode impedances can be determined independently.
