There has been no lack of theories of electrode polarization in liquids, solids and gases. A recent review of the literature on this subject is provided by Macdonald and Barlow1. The present work considers the static polarization problem in liquids in which the electrodes are plane, parallel, blocking, and separated by a finite distance. The liquid is assumed to possess two kinds of ions bearing charges of equal magnitude but opposite sign. Recombination and dissociation effects are assumed negligible. The analysis was developed for dielectric liquids; however, the results are of somewhat wider utility.
