I have a very basic question confusing me about charging electrochemical capacitors -
When you charge a symmetrical electrochemical capacitor to 1V, because one electrode becomes positively charged and the other negatively charged, the electrode potential across one will be +0.5V, and the electrode potential across the other will be -0.5V?
So if you were to measure the CV across each electrode they would both start at 0V, and travel in opposite directions to + and - 0.5V?
