Question

Why is it necessary to compare current density rather than current intensity at different values of applied potential to determine the efficiency of two electrodes in the same electrochemical reaction?

Expert Solution
Check Mark
Hint :

Current density is referred to as the total amount of current which is flowing through one unit value of a cross-sectional area. If this is of uniform current flow, then the amount of current which is flowing through a specific conductor is the same at all points of the conductor, even if the conductor area differs.
