Abstract
The polarisation properties of a platinum electrode in physiological saline (0·9 per cent NaCl) were studied in the linear and nonlinear range both in the frequency and time domains (parts 1 and 2). A model which states the limits of linear behaviour in the time domain is presented, its validity tested against experimental data and its equivalence with the analogous expression in the frequency domain demonstrated.
