Basic CP Circuits - Resistance and Polarization in Series Circuits

Series Circuits, Ionic Flow, and Correct Polarity in Cathodic Protection Systems

See the setup of a series circuit with a galvanic anode, such as magnesium or zinc, and the importance of correctly measuring current flow using an ammeter. You'll learn how improper connection of the meter can lead to negative readings due to reversed leads, and how current changes from conventional to ionic flow when transitioning into the earth. The video emphasizes the significance of measuring soil resistivity to assess the resistance of the anode to the earth. This is valuable for professionals working with cathodic protection systems, helping you understand the dynamics of ionic flow, resistivity, and ensuring proper polarity for accurate measurements.
