Thus it is evident that, considering the electrolytic cell as a whole, the passage of the current through it cannot conform to Ohm's law.
There are two effects of the passage of an electric current which prevent the possibility of measuring electrolytic resistance by the ordinary methods with the direct currents which are used in the case of metals.
The fourth class, namely the electrolytic conductors comprises all those substances which undergo chemical decomposition when they form part of an electric circuit traversed by an electric current.
The electrolytic bismuth here used was prepared by Hartmann and Braun, and the resistivity taken by J.
We have as yet said nothing about the fundamental cause of electrolytic activity, nor considered why, for example, a solution of potassium chloride is a good conductor, while a solution of sugar allows practically no current to pass.
Both effects thus involve internal electromotive forces, and prevent the application of Ohm's law to the electrolytic cell as a whole.

This electrolytic method has not yet been practised on a large scale, probably because gaseous chlorine has not many applications, and because of the difficulty there is in dealing with it.
Reactions of decomposition under the influences of solution are not only rational in themselves, but have in recent years been recognised by Arrhenius, Ostwald, and others, particularly on the basis of electrolytic determinations.
In general, owing to their simplicity, electrolytic methods have a great future, but as yet, so long as the production of an electric current remains so costly, their application is limited.

The energy necessary for the production of an ion is, in fact, according to Professor Rutherford and Professor Stark, something considerable, and it much exceeds the analogous force in electrolytic decomposition.
Electrolytic dissociation at first certainly appeared at least as strange; yet it has ended by forcing itself upon us, and we could, at the present day, hardly dispense with the image it presents to us.
This charge is very near that which the study of the phenomena of ordinary electrolysis leads us to attribute to a univalent atom produced by electrolytic dissociation.
We must, however, guard against the belief that the gaseous ion is identical with the electrolytic ion.
Bouty, those of Professor Kohlrausch and of Professor Ostwald on various points in electrolytic conduction, all support the theory.
It will also be useful, in order to avoid confusion, to restate with precision this notion of electrolytic ions, and to ascertain their magnitude, charge, and velocity.
The two liquid masses in the separated chambers thus make perfect electrolytic contacts with the two faces A and B of the sheet of metal.
This would necessitate the adoption of some plan for keeping the electrolytic contacts at A and B absolutely invariable.
Electrolytic contacts are made by plunging the two limbs in two vessels which are in connection with the two non-polarisable electrodes E and E' (fig.
Here A and B are held parallel to each other in anelectrolytic bath (water).
When electrolytic contacts are made on the uninjured surfaces of the stalk at A and B, the two points, being practically similar in every way, are iso-electric, and little or no current will flow in the galvanometer.
But if we interpose the galvanometer in the electrolytic part of the circuit, that is to say, at W, the same current will appear to flow in the opposite direction.
If the resistance of the electrolyte be too small, the intensity of the current will cause the water to boil rather than to occasion the electrolytic effects noted above.

Alkali is also produced to some extent by electrolytic processes, depending upon the splitting up of a solution of common salt into caustic soda and chlorine by the use of an electric current.
The leaden plates have taken a variety of forms, yet have remained leaden plates, one cleaned and the other fouled by the electrolytic action of a current, and giving off an almost equivalent current again by the return process.
The electrolytic processes are not the mere experiments a brief description of them would indicate, but are among the important processes for the mechanical products of modern times.
All the receivers of the coherer type and electrolytic type give no indications that are at all proportional to the energy of the incident wave.
Another form of electrolytic break was introduced by Mr. Caldwell.
The third class comprises the electrolytic responders, in which the action of electric oscillations either promotes or destroys the results of electrolysis.
The inference was drawn that the "resistance" is due to films of water adhering to the metallic particles through which electrolytic action occurs.
In this manner, the appearance of the secondary sparks can be varied from the thin snappy sparks given by the hammer break to the thick flame-like arc sparks given by the electrolytic break.

Many variations of the electrolytic process as above outlined have been suggested.
The electrolytic separation of the gold from cyanide solutions was first practised in the Transvaal.
It is especially suitable to gold containing little silver and base metals--a character of Australian gold--but it yields to the sulphuric acid and electrolytic methods in point of economy.
It is applicable to any alloy, and is the best method for parting gold with the exception of the electrolytic method.
For electrolytic precipitation the solution may contain up to 0.
The methods of parting can be classified into "dry," "wet" and electrolytic methods.

Away back there, the spark coil and the arc lamp were the only known means for setting up oscillations at the sending end, while the electrolytic and crystal detectors were the only available means for the amateur to receive them.
As the electrolytic detector was cumbersome and required a liquid, the crystal detector which came into being shortly after was just as sensitive and soon displaced the former, even as this had displaced the coherer.

Electrolytic hazards depend not on the heating effects of currents but on their chemical effects.
What is the object of using horn gaps on electrolytic arresters?
In electrolytic arresters all electrolytes dissolve the film when the arrester is on open circuit, the extent of the dissolution depending upon the length of time the film is in the electrolyte, and upon its temperature.
Westinghouse ~electrolytic station lightning arrester~ for direct current up to 1,500 volts consists of a tank of oil in which are placed, on properly insulated supports, a nest of cup shaped aluminum trays.
For voltages below this the horn gaps cannot, with safety, be set close enough together, out of doors, to take advantage of the freedom of discharge of the electrolytic element.
When we send an electric current from the dynamo into this cell it is called an electrolytic cell, and when it is used to generate an electric current it is called a battery cell.

Electrolytic compounds, when dissolved, are actually dissociated into their ions, partially so in a strong solution, entirely so in one which is infinitely dilute, a statement which leads to some extraordinary conclusions.
