Answers
Explanation:
a. the process in which an electrode is dipped in an electrolytic solution with an anode is called electroplating
b.it is based on magnetic affect of electric current
c. it is done to electroplate a substance
d.negative terminal of battery
e.matel or iron
a, Electroplating is a general name for processes that create a metal coating on a solid substrate through the reduction of cations of that metal by means of a direct electric current
b, The passage of an electric current through a conducting liquid causes chemical reactions. The resulting effects are called chemical effects of currents. ... The process of depositing a layer of any desired metal on another material, by means of electricity, is called electroplating
c, The word [done] should not be used in good writing to mean finished or completed. It is proper to say “the roast is done,” but this does not mean it is finished; it means the roast is sufficiently cooked. The “food is done” line has been a very successful one, and still appears occasionally today.
