Abstract
A dissolvable pressure barrier comprises a body having metallic dissolvable components, a power source, and a connector that is shiftable from a first position to a second position when a pressure greater than a predetermined load is applied to the pressure barrier. In the first position, the connector is electrically insulated from the power source. In the second position, the connector is in electrical communication with the power source, the metallic dissolvable components, and the casing of the wellbore, thereby forming an electric circuit wherein a voltage is provided by the power source and the dissolution of the pressure barrier is accelerated by an anodic process. The metallic dissolvable components may be coated with a low activity metal to assist with the dissolution process.
