The effects of electrode polarisation on the observed capacitances of electrolytic solutions, including whole blood, plasma and potassium chloride solution, have been investigated experimentally in the frequency region from 10 to 10(5) Hz, by varying the area of the electrodes using plate and mesh electrodes, by varying the electrode distance, and by varying the concentration of KCl in the potassium chloride solution. The effects of the electrode polarisation on the observed capacitances were most significant in the frequencies lower than 10(2) Hz, but cannot be neglected in any frequency region. The so-called alpha dispersion observed in the frequencies lower than about 10(3) Hz was reproduced theoretically with an equivalent circuit model, using constant values independent of frequency for the four circuit parameters: sample capacitance, sample conductivity, electrode polarisation capacitance and electrode polarisation conductivity. It was concluded that the observed alpha dispersion is not a real one that represents the specific features of the samples themselves, but an apparent one that represents the characteristics of the whole measurement system, including the electrode polarisation.
