   polarization
   (1) The change from the open-circuit electrode potential as the result of the passage of current. (2) A change in the potential of an electrode during electrolysis, such that the potential of an anode becomes more noble, and that of a cathode more active, than their respective reversible potentials. Often accomplished by formation of a film on the ...

   Polarization
   The inability of an electrode to reproduce a reading after a small electrical current has been passed through the membrane. Glass pH electrodes are especially prone to polarization errors caused by small currents flowing from the pH meter input circuit and from static electrical charges built up as the electrodes are removed from the sample solutio...

    Polarization
    `Polarization` (`Brit.` `polarisation`) is a property of transverse waves which describes the orientation of the oscillations in the plane perpendicular to the wave's direction of travel. This concept is used in areas of science and technology dealing with wave propagation, such as optics, seismology, and telecommunications. In electrodynamics, polarization characterizes electromagnetic waves, such as light, by specifying the direction of the wav...
