ay =Concentration profiles of different geometries From equation (5), it is seen that the peak current not only depends on the concentration but also on electrode surface area and scan rate. The influence of different electrode geometry on the output current is mainly focused and analyzed by keeping the above parameters such as concentration, electrode surface area, and scan rate to be constant. After many trials, the scan rate is chosen in the range of 0.01 to 0.001 V/s. These lower scan rates produced currents even in milliamperes. It is also found that higher scan rates resulted in adsorption of species that produced a modified cyclic voltammogram graph.

This is because the bull solution reaches the boundary first and hence higher boundary (1.e., perimeter) gives more reaction and hence higher current. So, the perimeter of different geometries i: also calculated and tabulated in TABLE II. From the Table, it is seen that for same area the geometry witt higher perimeter gives the better peak current i.e., peak current output is directly influenced by perimeter 0! working electrode.
