In linear-sweep voltammetry and related techniques, the empirical quantity defined by the equation
where
is the peak current,
A is the area of the electrode-solution interface,
is the rate of change of applied potential, and
is the bulk concentration of the substance B whose reduction or oxidation is responsible for the peak in question.
