From such a figure we can readily see that for solutions such as those of nickel, in which there is marked polarization a t low current densities, the greatest relative deviation from Ohm's law in the behavior of the cell as a whole, occurs not a t high but a t low current densities. In all solutions, polarization tends to approach a maximum as the current density is increased and therefore a t the higher current densities the total potential drop in the cell is more largely determined by the resistivity of the solution than a t low current densities. It is hoped that by some such simple methods as are illustrated in this paper it may be possible to inculcate early in the technical courses those fundamental principles of electrodeposition, upon which any sound exhaustive or mathematical treatment of the subject must rest.
