In recent years, a growing interest in the field of electrochemistry is related to the study of processes occurring at the ferromagnetic-electrolyte interfaces, in particular, the phase separation of electrolyte in an external magnetic field. Such processes depend on both the gradient of magnetic field and its distribution on the metal surface. 
Earlier [1,2] the optical investigations of formation of the dispersed phase in electrolyte and the dynamic characteristics of its motion both in infrared and visible irradiation were carried out. The performed study allowed to obtain the distributions of the characteristic frequencies of the electrolyte motion over the volume of the medium under investigation. 

	In the present work the motion of the electrolyte under a different configuration of the magnetic field was performed, and also the distribution of the temperature gradients arising during the reaction was studied using the thermal imager ULIR-vision TI-384.
