Faraday's laws of electrolysis

Have you ever played with magnets and noticed how they attract or repel each other? Well, a scientist named Michael Faraday found out that this kind of attraction and repulsion can also happen when electricity goes through a liquid that has a special substance called an electrolyte in it.

Faraday's Law of Electrolysis says that the amount of a substance that is changed by an electric current going through it depends on how much electricity goes through and how much the substance weighs. Think of it like making a cake - if you use more flour, you need more eggs and sugar to make the cake the right way, and the same goes for electricity and the amount of substance being changed.

This law also says that if you double the amount of electricity going through the substance, you will double the amount of substance that gets changed. So, the more electricity you have, the more of the substance will change.

Faraday's second law of electrolysis says that the different substances that are being changed by the electricity need different amounts of electricity to get changed completely. For example, if you have a container with both water and salt in it, the salt will need more electricity to completely change than the water will.

Overall, Faraday's laws of electrolysis helps scientists understand how electricity can change substances and how to figure out how much of a substance will change based on the amount of electricity used.
