to the applied voltage axis, giving a value of E1c1); (2) CB and AB may
be extended until they meet at D, and the projection of that point on the
voltage axis, E2, is regarded as the dynamic potential (5). Certain investi-

while the ammeter was rated accurate to 1 percent. For this reason, read-

tests for no foreign ions. Smooth platinum electrodes were used, since
stirring was used to agitate the solutions. Applied voltages and the cor-
