- TL;DR Summary
- Difference between force of diffusion and force of an electric field?
Hi,
A solution contains some ions (charged particles). We are only interested in my exemple to positive ions.
It is assumed that these ions acquired some mobility under a concentration gradient. Their direction is A to B.
Then these ions encounter/cross an electric field which is oriented from B to A.
How is it possible to calculate the travel of these ions?
Is the electric force ever stronger than the diffusive one?
