Preferred Label : applied potential;
IUPAC definition : The difference of potential measured between identical metallic leads to two electrodes
of a cell. The applied potential is divided into two electrode potentials, each of
which is the difference of potential existing between the bulk of the solution and
the interior of the conducting material of the electrode, an i.R or ohmic potential
drop through the solution, and another ohmic potential drop through each electrode.
In the electroanalytical literature this quantity has often been denoted by the term
voltage, whose continued use is not recommended.;
