What Is the Diameter and Area of the ZP Hyper Value 501 Carbon Electrode?
One of the most common questions we receive about the ZP Hyper Value 501 Carbon Screen-Printed Electrode is:
What is the diameter of the working electrode?
The working electrode dimensions are:
- Diameter: 1.6 mm
- Radius: 0.8 mm
- Area: 2.01 mm²
- Area: 0.0201 cm²
Why Is Electrode Area Important?
Researchers often need to calculate current density rather than simply reporting current.
Current density is calculated by dividing the measured current by the electrode area. Knowing the working electrode area allows electrochemical data to be compared between different electrode formats and experiments.
For the Hyper Value 501 Carbon Electrode, the working electrode area is:
2.01 mm² (0.0201 cm²)
