-----Electrolysis
I am doing a project at school on electrolysis. I was wondering what Faraday's Law had to do with the amount of copper that is deposited when it is placed in copper sulphate ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] with a current flowing through it.

Hi Naomi. It has everything to do with it. Faraday's Law says the amount of copper deposited will be directly proportional to the coulombs flowing.
