        Faraday’s law of electrolysis is a principle in chemistry and electrical engineering that describes the relationship between the amount of electric charge that passes through an electrolytic cell and the amount of material that is produced or consumed at the electrodes. It is named after the English scientist Michael Faraday, who first described it in the early 19th century.

Faraday’s law of electrolysis Formula:

According to Faraday’s law, the amount of material that is produced or consumed at the electrodes of an electrolytic cell is directly proportional to the amount of electric charge that passes through the cell. This relationship is described by the following equation:

m = Q / zF

where:

m is the mass of material produced or consumed at the electrodes (in grams)

Q is the electric charge that passes through the cell (in coulombs)

z is the valence of the material (the number of electrons transferred per ion)

F is the Faraday constant, which is a physical constant that relates the amount of electric charge to the number of moles of material produced or consumed.

Faraday’s law of electrolysis is a fundamental principle in chemistry and is used to predict the behavior of electrolytic cells and to understand the relationships between electric charge, current, and chemical reactions. It is also an important concept in the field of electrochemistry, which studies the relationships between electricity and chemical reactions.

What is Biot Savart Law?
What is Biot Savart Law?
The Biot-Savart Law is employed to determine the magnetic field intensity dHnear a current-carrying conductor. In other words, it describes the relationship between the magnetic field intensity generated by a source current element. This law was formulated in 1820 by Jean-Baptiste Biot and Félix Savart. For a straight wire, the direction of the magnetic field adheres to the right-hand rule. The Biot-Savart Law is also referred to as Laplace’s law or Ampère’s law.Conside

What is the formula for calculating current if voltage and power are known, but resistance or impedance is unknown?
What is the formula for calculating current if voltage and power are known, but resistance or impedance is unknown?
For DC Circuits (Using Power and Voltage)In a direct - current (DC) circuit, the power P (in watts), voltage V (in volts), and current (in amperes) are related by the formula P=VIIf we know the power P and voltage V, we can calculate the current using the formula I=P/V. For example, if a DC device has a power rating of 100 watts and is connected to a 20- volt source, then the current I=100/20=5 amperese.In an alternating - current (AC) circuit, we deal with apparent power S (in volt - amperes),

What are the validations of Ohm’s law?
Ohm's Law is a fundamental principle in electrical engineering and physics that describes the relationship between the current flowing through a conductor, the voltage across the conductor, and the resistance of the conductor. The law is expressed mathematically as:V=I×R V is the voltage across the conductor (measured in volts, V), I is the current flowing through the conductor (measured in amperes, A), R is the resistance of the conductor (measured in ohms, Ω).While Ohm's Law is widely accepted

What is needed for a power supply to deliver more power in a circuit?
What is needed for a power supply to deliver more power in a circuit?
To increase the power delivered by a power supply in a circuit, you need to consider several factors and make appropriate adjustments. Power is defined as the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred, and it is given by the equation:P=VI P is power (measured in watts, W). V is voltage (measured in volts, V). I is current (measured in amperes, A).Thus, to deliver more power, you can either increase the voltage V or the current I, or both.Here are the steps and considerations involved:I
