An obvious assumption that we need to make is that the way in which the currents of individual reactions change with potential is described by a reasonably simple theory. Such a theory has been developed for electrochemical reactions, and provides a good description of many reactions. In essence this theory proposes that the potential changes (polarization) which arise as the result of current flowing across a metal-solution interface arise from three basic processes:
