The self-organized electric cell voltage of the physical circuit is calculated at etching and deposition of metals at the surface of a magnetized ferromagnetic electrode in an electrolyte without passing an external electrical current. This self-organized voltage arises due to the inhomogeneous distribution of concentration of the effectively dia- or paramagnetic cluster components of an electrolyte at the surface of a ferromagnetic electrode under the effect of inhomogeneous magnetostatic fields. The current density and Lorentz force are calculated in an electrolyte in the vicinity of the magnetized steel ball-shaped electrode. The Lorentz force causes the rotation of an electrolyte around the direction of an external magnetic field.

Key words: magnetoelectrolysis, gradient magnetic force, Lorentz force, effective magnetic susceptibility, clusters, self-organized electric cell voltage
