Answer:
A DC electrical power source is connected to two electrodes, or two plates (typically made from some inert metal such as platinum or iridium) which are placed in the water. Hydrogen will appear at the cathode (where electrons enter the water), and oxygen will appear at the anode.
Cathode (reduction): 2 H2O(l) + 2e−
