Question
Chapter 19, Problem 42QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The term “overvoltage” is to be defined and its affect on electrolytic processes is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The amount of work required to migrate a unit positive charge is known as the electric potential.
The difference between the electric potentials is known as voltage.
Overvoltage occurs when the voltage of a circuit surpasses its maximum limit.
