I believe it does. The circuit is broken and the electrochemical process you
desire cannot proceed.

I'm also not sure if a sacrificial anode is a good idea: it's dependent on
the solution and the metals in contact with the solution. It is feasible that
the anode could worsen the situation. I have to think about that one.
