Hallo Asif, Good data from you, thanks,
My knee jerk reaction is that the rods are contaminated somehow. A water soluble contamination that immediately causes the conductivity to appear next to the rods. soap and detergent etc are insidious and maybe you should boil the rods in good water and or soak in a solvent for a while, The rods may have been polished and thus a waxy soap forced into the skin of the rods; maybe from the wire-drawing process. Or that the conductivity meter needs calibrating to zero, ( 0.0 or 0.00 microsiemen ) and for a reasonable range. How are you measuring conductivity? Which device? btw 1.0 mA per square inch Anode area is deemed to be the max desirable. so you have about 0.75 mA /"^2 which in the ballpark, assuming that the anode and cathode area is equal. You could go way down to 0.1 or 0.2 mA apparently. What you could perhaps do for now is connect a potentiometer across the voltage supply, where the rods are now; and pick off that to the rods. You could monitor the cell amps by measuring the current in one leg to the the 'rods. Yes?
