Enhancement of polarographic reduction currents by a static magnetic field.
The effect of a magnetic field on d.c. polarographic reduction currents was studied with a static magnetic field applied perpendicularly to the dropping mercury electrode. In the presence of the magnetic field, diffusion or migration currents show a slight but distinct increase. The factors which can influence this effect have been examined experimentally. The effect is interpreted in terms of suppression of transfer of concentration polarization from one drop to the next. It is shown that certain types of maxima are enhanced by application of a magnetic field.
