The impact of the Meyer–Neldel rule (MN rule) on the response of thermally stimulated processes in solids, from which the thermally stimulated depolarisation (TSD) was chosen as a formal representative, is analysed. The current arising in the external circuit was calculated for both cases: validity and invalidity of the MN rule. The results obtained for a set of discrete energy levels and for continuously distributed relaxation times demonstrate that the presence of the MN rule deforms the response of the thermally stimulated process which can lead to its erroneous interpretation. The possible way how to minimise the influence of the MN rule as well as how to attest its presence is suggested.
