Question
Chapter 17, Problem 20RQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Use of direct current instead of alternating current in electroplating of metals has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
When any object or surface is covered with thin adherent metal, this process is called electroplating. This is done either for protection of metal surface or for decoration effect. Surface that is electroplated acts as cathode. Migration of metal ions occurs by passage of
