The studies of polarization showed that the essential oil of Cedrus atlantica acts as a cathodic inhibitor. The different thermodynamic and kinetic parameters were calculated to understand the energy changes associated during the inhibition process. The effectiveness increases with the concentration to reach 70% at concentration of 2000 ppm. %U https://www.sciencepubco.com/index.php/IJAC/article/view/7115
