Which outcome limits maximum cell current during electrolysis?

💡 Explanation

Low reactant surface reaction energy increases cathodic or anodic overpotential, because the **Arrhenius equation** states reaction rate depends exponentially on activation energy; therefore reaction and max current decrease, rather than the other listed impedance or equilibrium phenomena.
