An analytical solution for the primary potential and current distribution around a spherical bubble in contact with a plane electrode is presented. This study aims to understand the electrochemical behavior in the vicinity of bubbles which can affect reactions occurring at electrode surfaces. The methodology involved deriving equations that describe the potential and current density profiles around the bubble, demonstrating how they change as one moves away from the contact point. The results indicate that the current density achieves only one percent of its maximum at the contact location, revealing significant gradients in potential and distribution as influenced by the bubble's presence. This work highlights the complexities involved in electrochemical systems where phase boundaries interact, which is crucial for various applications including gas-evolving electrodes and fuel cells.
