The title “+ or – bipolar” refers to positive (+) and negative (-) charges induced in conductor materials by using an external source that generates an electric field in an aqueous solution.

The title “+ or – bipolar” refers to positive (+) and negative (-) charges induced in conductor materials by using an external source that generates an electric field in an aqueous solution. Simple experiments are conducted for participants to understand the concept of bipolar electrochemistry. For instance, a LED immersed in water is switched on without an electrical connection, movement is generated by means of chemical reactions, and colour changes are observed to learn what it means to induce a positive charge (+) and a negative charge (-) in the same material.
