In an electrode-electrolyte circuit what do the terms drift current and diffusion current mean?
In an electrode-electrolyte circuit, drift current refers to the movement of charge carriers due to an electric field, while diffusion current refers to the movement of charge carriers due to a concentration gradient within the electrolyte. Drift current is proportional to the applied voltage, whereas diffusion current is proportional to the concentration gradient. At equilibrium, the drift and diffusion currents are equal and opposite, leading to no net current flow.
What is the solution that conducts electricity?
These solutions contain ions, as for example soluble salts.
Is CS2 an electrolyte or nonelectrolyte?
Yes CS2 is an non - electrolyte
A solution or substance that conducts an electric current?
An electrolyte is a substance that conducts an electric current by ion movement. In a solution, ions present in the electrolyte facilitate the flow of electric charge. This makes electrolytes essential in batteries, fuel cells, and many other electronic devices.
What is definition of transport number in electrochemistry?
The fraction of the total current carried by a given ion in an electrolyte.

What are the factors on which the current through an electrolyte depends?
The factors on which the current through an electrolyte depend are: (i) Nature of electrolyte (ii) Concentration of the solution (iii) Temperature
What is A substance that conducts an electric current in solution?
A substance that dissolves in solution to conduct an electrical current is an "electrolyte" or, less commonly, an "ionogen".
What current consists of imaginary carriers of positive charge?
Conventional current consists of imaginary carriers of positive charge.
What are the majority and minority current carriers in an N-type and a P-type semiconductor?
In an N-type semiconductor, majority current carriers are electrons, while minority current carriers are holes. In a P-type semiconductor, majority current carriers are holes, while minority current carriers are electrons.
What is the solution that conducts electricity?
These solutions contain ions, as for example soluble salts.
What is a substance that conducts an electric current when dissolved in water or when melted?
electrolytes
How can current flow through sulfuric acid?
as it is an electrolyte
What is dissolved in water will conduct an electric current?
an electrolyte
What is a solution or substance that conducts an electric current?
It is an electrolyte.
Is mayonnaise an electrolyte?
Mayonnaise is not a particularly good electrolyte but, the small amount of acetic acid in it will ionize and carry a current.
What is an electrolyte that is completely dissolved in a solution and still can conduct a sharp electrical current called?
Strong Electrolyte...I think.
