It disrupts the high conductivity zone track that forms between the electrodes which increases current draw in a localized manner, reduces the concentration of ions in the outer macro area of the Nernst Diffusion layer of the electrodes [but does little at the surface ], and prevents high concentrations of silver ions from gaining electrons from the glass on the bottom of the container as the conductive track contacts it which makes a shiny mirror out of that surface...and prevents other hard to remove/ wasteful oxide and hydroxide deposits from forming on the bottom.

What does stirring do to CS during a brew ?

Increasing the surface area of the electrodes would *decrease* the effective

between them, all other things being equal (electrode spacing, voltage, type
and amount of water remaining the same in both examples).  Hopefully, your
power supply has the capacity to supply the increased current and your CS
brewing would proceed at a faster rate.

Moving the electrodes closer together will also increase the current.

You may have to add stirring at some point if the currents get too high.

Is that what you were asking about?

My power supply generates 30 volts DC at 0.400 milliamps. If I were to
substantially increase the surface area of the electrodes, would that alone
serve to decrease the current between the then available electrode area??
