Chemical reactions take place when current passes through chemical solutions. The resulting effects are called Chemical effects of current.
Chemical effects in the solution can be noticed depending on the type of the solution which includes:
– Gas bubble production at electrodes – Metal deposition at electrodes – Colour changes in the solution
A conductor is a material that allows an electric current to flow through it. For example: Copper and Steel.
Bad conductors or insulators are materials that do not allow an electric current to flow freely through them. For example: Wood
Electrolysis is the decomposition of ionic substances into their constituent elements by a direct electric current.
The process of electroplating involves applying a negative charge to an object in order to deposit a metal layer.
Electroplating is a very helpful process and some of the advantages are mentioned below:
