Summary

In this paper we present the solution to the differential equations system corresponding to the problem of multistep processes and systems with several components when a programmed current-time function is applied to planar and spherical electrodes. The analytical solutions have been obtained in both cases, by a recurrent procedure, which facilitates the numerical determination of results. This solution has been found for an expanding spherical electrode, since by using simple substitutions it is transformed into that corresponding to a stationary spherical electrode, to an expanding plane electrode or to a stationary plane electrode.
