" In Fig. 215 the lines Ah and Cg show the path that would inevitably be taken by the current if there were no polarisation, in view of the thinness of the moist sheath and good conductivity of the metal core, in order to pass from the electrode points A and C to the core. If polarisa- tion occurs at h and g, the metal ( platinum in dilute sulphuric acid) would be charged with hydrogen at h, with oxygen at g. The platinum point h, which is charged with hydrogen, would then be electrically active towards the uncharged points near it
