The anode and canthode of MEC should be connected with the posive and negative terminals of power supply respectively. Please explain where the resistance should be connecetd? between anode and cathode wires of MEC or in a series with power supply?
Hello Palak Saket ,
See the following RG question: https://www.researchgate.net/post/Running-microbial-electrolysis-cell .

I want to apply resistance between anode and cathode of MEC. I do not want any resistance for power supply so that the appplied voltage should reachb exactly what it is applied.
Hello Palak Saket ,
I am confused. What is the purpose of the external resistance in your experimental setup? Obviously, if you connect the external resistance in parallel with power supply and the MEC, it will have same voltage difference applied to it as applied by the power supply to the MEC, but so what. Can you elaborate on why you need the external resistance?

Dear sir
I want to put external resistance (which is equal to the internal resistance) against anode and cathode wires of MEC to get maximum power density. In that case, if I connect the power supply in series my resistance will be increased which will eventuall decrese the current generation and voltage will also be unequally distributed via power supply in MEC but if I connect the power supply in parallel with MEC and resistance that means MEC has the same voltage as power supply.
I justb want to know is it scientifically okay to make connections in parallel in MEC for treatment of dye containing wastewater?
