← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when an ionic salt bridges electrodes?
A)Short circuit with high current flows✓
B)Increased capacitance in the system
C)Electrode polarization voltage is maintained
D)Reduction in faradaic electrochemical reactions
💡 Explanation
A short circuit results from ionic compounds bridging electrodes, because the presence of mobile ions allows direct electron transfer (ionic conductivity), therefore, high current flows, rather than capacitance increases, which would be caused by dielectric materials.
