Sorry, I should have used "resistance" instead of "conductance".
From my post "Silver Generation with ULVDC", Thu, 8 May 2003

--------------------------------------------------------------------
The initial resistance is
R = E / I
= 2.01 / 155e-6
= 12967.742 ohms
However, the previous 1.4 mA current had an initial resistance of
23k. This shows the initial resistance is not linear with current,
but this is not too surprising.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
So the initial *resistance* increases with applied voltage, and the
*conductance* goes down.
Everyone assumes the resistance is constant, so they use the highest
voltage available to get the process started. This means they need a
constant current generator to avoid runaway. The high voltage across
the cell also generates large particles that require stirring to
solve. The process gets complicated, tricky, and expensive.
A single resistor is all that is needed.
