    In electrolysis the mass deposited on an electrode is directly proportional to

    A)  current

    B)  square of current

    C)  concentration of solution

    D)  inverse of current

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     In electrolysis according to first law of Faraday, the mass of a substance deposited at an electrode is directly proportional to the charge passed through the electrolyte ie, \[m\propto p\] If a current i passes for a time t, then as we know \[q=it\] Hence,                  \[m\propto it\] or                            \[m\propto i\] Thus, mass deposited at an electrode is directly proportional to current.
