Description
    The \c electrostaticDeposition is a boundary condition to
    calculate electric potential (\c V) on a given boundary
    based on film thickness (\c h) and film resistance (\c R) fields
    which are updated based on a given patch-normal current density
    field (\c jn), Coulombic efficiency and film resistivity.

    The inherited entries are elaborated in:
      - \link fixedValueFvPatchFields.H \endlink
      - \link PatchFunction1.H \endlink
 
Note
  - Depletion or abrasion of material due to negative current is not allowed.
  - When accumulative specific charge (\c qCumulative) is less than minimum
  accumulative specific charge (\c qMin), no deposition occurs.
  - Boundary-condition updates are not allowed during outer corrections
  to prevent spurious accumulation of film thickness.
  - \c resistivity, \c jMin, \c qMin and \c Rbody are always non-negative.
