What is recorded here?
Faraday compared electrolytic products with a water-based electrical measurement in the same circuit. His experiments related chemical decomposition to the quantity of electricity and compared substances through their chemical equivalents. A common circuit made unlike decompositions comparable. Faraday weighed metal changes, measured evolved gas and altered electrodes to distinguish the principal electrical action from secondary reactions. These comparisons connected electricity quantitatively with chemical change, a different contribution from electromagnetic induction.

Scientific scope
This entry concerns the 1834 Seventh Series, building on earlier work. Side reactions, gas losses and electrode chemistry affect measured products. Historical chemical categories are not all retained in modern chemistry.

Faraday: electrochemical equivalents and measured charge
