Uncompensated Resistance. 2. The Effect of Reference Electrode Nonideality
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A finite-element simulation study has been made of the effect upon the uncompensated resistance, U, of the size of a reference electrode positioned at various distances above the center of an inlaid-disk working electrode. The idealized reference electrode is treated as a conducting circular disk embedded in a cylindrical insulator. Two effects are encountered, in addition to the expected diminution in U as the reference electrode approaches the working electrode. A "backwater effect", reducing U, arises from the avoidance of the Luggin probe by the current lines. A "short-circuiting" effect, enhancing U, arises if those current lines pass through the reference electrode on their way to the counter electrode. Two detrimental effects of the intrusion of a finite-sized reference electrode into the vicinity of the working electrode--a reduction in the total current and the perturbation of the current density distribution-are also briefly examined. It is demonstrated that U may be reduced indefinitely by decreasing the working-to-reference gap, but, the Luggin probe must have a diameter of one-fourth or less of that of the working electrode if significant shielding is to be avoided.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
