The Wien effect refers to a phenomenon observed in electrolyte solutions, particularly in the context of ion migration. It describes the increased conductivity of an electrolyte solution when it is subjected to a high electric field strength. In essence, as the electric field increases, the ions in the solution are propelled more effectively, leading to enhanced ionic mobility and an increase in conductivity. This effect is particularly notable in very dilute solutions where the interactions between ions are minimal.
