The non-
faradaic current associated with the charging of the
electrical double layer at an electrode-solution
interface, given by:
where
=
surface charge density of the double layer,
= area of the electrode-solution
interface
and
=
time.
Capital letters should be used as subscripts to avoid the possibility of confusing
this symbol with that for the
limiting diffusion current.
