An experimental study has been made for laminar mass transfer to a rotating disk and a rotating hemispherical electrode when sinusoidal alternating current (AC) together with direct current (DC) are flowing across the electrode/electrolyte interface. A resistor‐capacitor circuit was used to measure the phase shift between the applied AC and the resulting periodical concentration overpotential. The limiting AC current density corresponding to a zero instantaneous surface concentration was determined as a function of AC frequency and DC current density. The experimental data agreed with the theoretical calculations in a regime of a dimensionless AC frequency K = (ω/Ω) Sc 1/3 greater than 1 and less than 200.
