Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\fcolorbox{red}{orange}{Answer}}$

The direct current helps to deposit the anions in the anode and the cations in the cathode. If alternate current was used, then the direction of current will go on changing and hence this would lead to uneven deposition of ions in the electrodes.
