CONT

Pour une cellule asymétrique, une partie de l'électrode faisant face à la référence (l'anode) présente une densité de courant plus petite dans cette région, car l'épaisseur d'électrolyte à traverser est plus élevée. L'asymétrie ne nuit pas au fonctionnement de la cellule, mais le potentiel lu par la référence s'en trouve perturbé.
