In the electrolysis process of CuSO4, Cu is deposited

Correct answer: B. On Cathode

  • A. On Anode
  • B. On Cathode
  • C. Either anode or cathode
  • D. Can not be deposited

Explanation

During electrolysis, positive ions migrate towards the cathode (negative electrode) and get reduced. In the case of CuSO4, Cu ions get reduced and deposited onto the cathode.Incorrect options: (a) The anode is where oxidation occurs, not deposition of copper. (c) Copper is specifically deposited at the cathode during the electrolysis of CuSO4. (d) Copper is indeed deposited during the electrolysis process.

About Current Electricity

Steady current relates charge flow to potential difference, resistance and resistivity, including how temperature changes a conductor's resistance. Sources with internal resistance have terminal voltage below their emf when delivering current, and maximum power output occurs under a specific load condition rather than at zero resistance.
