  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-012882",
  "term": "Applied potential",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The electrical voltage intentionally imposed across an electrochemical cell or between an electrode and a reference electrode. This external potential drives electrochemical reactions by influencing the energy levels of electrons at the electrode-solution interface. It is a key parameter controlled in voltammetry and other electroanalytical techniques.",
