The laws state that
(1) the amount of chemical change produced by current at an electrode-electrolyte boundary is proportional to the quantity of electricityused, and
(2) the amounts of chemical changes produced by the same quantity of electricity in different substances are proportional to their equivalent weights

:
1. If a fixed amount of electricity is paseed through a cell, it produces a fixed amount of a particular substance at an electrode.
2. The number of moles of various substances liberated at an electrode by a fixed quantity of electricity are in the ratio of small integers.
For example, when a fixed amount of current (96500 C) is passed through a cell containing NaCl then 1mole of Na ( at cathode) and ¹/² mole of Cl2 (g) ( at anode ) is produced.
Also, the mole ration of 1:¹/² or 2:1 is obtained.
