3.3.3. Connecting the External Dummy Cell 
 
The external dummy cell for the PARSTAT 4000 (part number 3680-1300-06S, pictured 
below) consists of a 10ohm resistor in series with a 100ohm || 100uF time constant.  
This dummy cell is utilized in ASTM G106 (Verification of Algorithm and Equipment for 
Electrochemical Impedance Measurements), and can be used for DC tests as well as EIS 
testing. The relationship for these measurements is: 
 
E=IR 
 
E=voltage 
I=current 
R=resistance 
 
For example, a constant potential of 1V applied to the should produce a current of 9.09mA 
(milliamps): 
 
1=110 (I) 
 
I= 1/110 = 9.09mA
