mean current density

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.M03776
Defined as j=IA where I is the
electric current
and A is usually taken as the geometric area of the electrode. However the nature of the area used in this calculation must be clearly stated. In interpreting the mean
current density
it is important to know whether the current is uniformly distributed over the electrode
interface
.
