Does someone ask: what’s happened when the potential difference
between electrodes in a electrolytic cell is lower then that necessary
for electrodes reactions?
According to actual definition of electric current, as a charge
movement, in this case, the electrolytic cell should comport like a
capacitor.
The results of the experiments are completely contrary to actual
theoretical prediction for solution and molten salts, as can be seen
at:

Can someone figure out a interpretation in frame of actual physics for
these experiments?
