By coupling uniform magnetic and electric fields, the effect of the magnetic field strength on cathode current density was studied in an experimental electrorefining cell. The increase, with respect to electrolysis in a purely electric field, in the rate of mass transfer is interpreted by an approximate mathematical model.
