Abstract
The paper investigates the steady magnetic field influence on the redox reaction in the red/membrane/ox system. The systems hydrazine/membrane/KMnO₄+H₃PO₄ and hydrazine/membrane/Fe³⁺+sulfosalicylic acid were investigated by the method of voltammetric characteristics. The EMF (difference of potentials) is induced in crossed electric and magnetic fields. To measure EMF, besides metal (Au, Ni, Cu, Pt) electrodes, a measuring system - ``a membrane with two taps" - connected to two Ag/AgCl electrodes (for comparison) was proposed.
