In addition to the common transient diffusion (Cottrell), there are further transport results that cannot be neglected: Faradic resistance at surface of the working electrode, and Ohmic resistance in the bulk of streaming electrolyte solution between the working and counter electrodes. These additional resistances are analyzed here for the voltage-step transient (VST) process using the Nernst model of a two-electrode cell (no reference electrode). The Faradic resistance is considered for a single redox couple O + ne- = R according to Butler-Volmer electrode kinetics. The effect of Ohmic and Faradic resistances in VST is accounted for using two models: the recently updated 1D approximation and a new model that accepts primary current distribution for a circular electrode. It is shown that the 1D approximation introduces unacceptable errors.
