concentration related to current?
how do the concentrations change as current flows from anode to cathode?

electrons will flow from area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. So, the concentration difference makes potential.

If you mean for a concentration cell, the solution of lower concentration will be the product because it will be increasing in concentration. The higher concentration solution will decrease in concentration, so it's the reactant. A voltage will be created as electrons flow from anode to cathode since both solutions are reaching equilibrium.

so once there is no concentration difference, there is no more potential?
