The current density
of a species
B in a given point of the solution is obtained by multiplying the flux density of that
species at the given point by the
Faraday constant
and by the
charge number
of the species:
where
is a vector
which indicates the direction in which the charges transported by the species
B flow and which
gives the number of these charges going through a plane oriented perpendicular to the vector, divided by time
and by area, and
is the flux density of a minor
constituent of the solution with
respect to a fixed frame of reference.
