Faraday laws


Far·a·day laws

(far'ă-dā), 1. the amount of an electrolyte decomposed by an electric current is proportional to the amount of the current; 2. when the same current is passed through several electrolytes, the amounts of the different substances decomposed are proportional to their chemical equivalents. [Michael Faraday]
