A last significant concept is the current density. It is the intensity applied divided by the electrode's surface. It is often calculated in mA/cm².

This value specify a limit not to be exceeded at the time for iontophoresis treatments. One can nevertheless put the question to know why this limit is forgotten in the other types of stimulation. Why limit calculation to the intensity ? How to apply this formula to the apparatuses with constant tension ?
