Current Efficiency: Actual vs Theoretical Mass and the Time for a Target Thickness
This lesson is part of the course
In this lesson
You compare weighed deposits of five fictional nickel runs with Faraday's law, compute their current efficiency run by run and pooled, and plan the time for a 15 µm layer at the planning efficiency.
