Avec une électrode à goutte tombante, il s'agit du courant total qui circule au moment où une durée t s'est écoulée depuis la chute de la goutte précédente. Pour d'autres électrodes, il s'agit du courant total qui circule instantanément lorsqu'il s'est écoulé un temps t depuis le début d'une électrolyse. 1, record 1, French, - courant%20instantan%C3%A9

Le courant instantané dépend généralement du temps et il peut avoir le caractère de courants: d'adsorption, catalytique, de diffusion, de double couche ou cinétique et il peut comporter un courant de migration. Une courbe du courant instantané en fonction du temps s'appelle une «courbe i-t». 1, record 1, French, - courant%20instantan%C3%A9
