Debye–Falkenhagen effect

Content sourced from Wikipedia, licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0.

The Debye–Falkenhagen effect is the increase in the electrical conductivity of an electrolyte when the applied voltage oscillates at very high frequency. It is named after Peter Debye and Hans Falkenhagen, who described it in 1928. Experiments on systems such as water–p-dioxane and methanol–toluene have confirmed Falkenhagen’s predictions from 1929.
