Abstract

Electrolysis is an electrochemical process that converts electrical energy into chemical energy, in which its performance is strongly influenced by the properties of the electrolyte solution used. Table salt is one of the electrolytes commonly used in laboratory experiments because it is easily obtained and capable of ionizing in water. At low concentrations, the number of free ions in the solution becomes limited, thereby affecting the magnitude of the electric current produced. In addition, the presence of an external magnetic field can influence ion movement through the Lorentz force, potentially altering the electric current response. This study aims to analyze the effect of variations in low-concentration table salt solutions on electric current in an electrolysis system, as well as to compare the system response under conditions without a magnetic field and with a magnetic field. The research method employed was an experimental approach using three solution concentration variations, namely 0.01 M, 0.05 M, and 0.10 M. Electric current measurements were conducted at a constant voltage of 3 V and a solution volume of 200 mL. The results showed that increasing the solution concentration tended to increase the electric current produced. Furthermore, the application of a magnetic field caused changes in the current values, indicating that the magnetic field affected ion movement in the electrolyte solution.
