The open circuit (oc) potential is the potential of the working electrode relative to the reference electrode when no potential or current is being applied to the cell.

A voltmeter measures the potential difference between two points,whether or not the two points are in the same circuit.
An electrical cell is the basic unit from which electrical batteries are made. The cell is composed of two plates made of different conductive materials and a liquid electrolyte (in "dry" cells this liquid is in the form of a moist paste). Electric charge is produced between the two plates by the electrolyte interacting with and causing corrosion of one or both plates. Once the electric charge is produced the corrosion process slows or stops, unless an external circuit is connected between the plates. When an external circuit is connected between the plates, current flows through that circuit and the electric charge is slightly reduced. The corrosion process continues at a rate necessary to maintain the electric charge, until the chemicals in the cell are used up.
"Grounding a connector" means you join a connector in a circuit to another point in the circuit that is definitely at ground potential. This is done mainly when testing a circuit, to be sure that a particular point in that circuit really is at ground potential if you are not certain that it is already. Alternatively, you could be doing a test to temporarily ground a connector that is not normally at ground potential, to see what effect doing the test has on the behavior of the circuit.
To deoxygenate the water, thus preventing corrosion
To determine the potential difference in a circuit, you can use Ohm's Law, which states that voltage (V) equals current (I) multiplied by resistance (R). By measuring the current flowing through the circuit and knowing the resistance of the components, you can calculate the potential difference.
Open circuit potential measurement is significant in determining the corrosion behavior of a material because it provides valuable information about the material's tendency to corrode in a specific environment. By measuring the potential difference between the material and a reference electrode when no current is flowing, researchers can assess the material's susceptibility to corrosion and predict its long-term performance. This measurement helps in understanding the electrochemical processes involved in corrosion and aids in the development of effective corrosion prevention strategies.
When there is corrosion in a circuit, it results in lower current flow. This is because corrosion actually causes resistance.
To determine the potential difference between two points in a circuit, you can use a voltmeter. Connect the voltmeter across the two points you want to measure and the reading displayed on the voltmeter will indicate the potential difference between those two points.
A voltmeter connected in parallel in an electrical circuit is used to measure the voltage across a specific component or part of the circuit. It helps to determine the potential difference between two points in the circuit, providing information about the electrical potential at that location.
the purpose of a voltmeter is used to measure voltage in a circuit
Yes it does. And the opposite is true too. If you look at the hot water heater in your house, you will see insulating collars in the plumbing to prevent electrolytic currents from flowing through the plumbing and corroding the pipes.
In a series circuit, the potential voltage across the circuit components adds up to the total voltage of the circuit.

A voltmeter is typically used to measure electrical potential energy. It is connected in parallel with the component or circuit being measured to determine the voltage difference or potential between two points.
The electric potential at a point in a circuit is the amount of electrical potential energy per unit charge at that point. It is measured in volts (V). The electric potential at a point in a circuit can be calculated using the formula V IR, where V is the electric potential, I is the current flowing through the circuit, and R is the resistance of the circuit at that point.
The electricity will flow from higher potential to lower potential in a closed circuit.
