211: 32:. Simply put, the ideal polarizable electrode is characterized by charge separation at the electrode-electrolyte boundary and is electrically equivalent to a capacitor, while the ideal non-polarizable electrode is characterized by no charge separation and is electrically equivalent to a short. 99:). Its potential does not change from its equilibrium potential upon application of current. The reason for this behavior is that the electrode reaction is infinitely fast, having an infinite 68:, i.e., no faradic current exists between the electrode surface and the electrolyte. Any transient current that may be flowing is considered 80: 252: 164: 189: 143: 281: 245: 111:
