By coupling uniform magnetic and electric fields, the effect of the magnetic field strength on cathode current density was studied in an experimental electrorefining cell. The increase, with respect to electrolysis in a purely electric field, in the rate of mass transfer is interpreted by an approximate mathematical model.he effect of a magnetic field on electrolytic pro-
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
