What is electrolysis ? Give Faraday's first law of electrolysis.

Explanation

Electrolysis : The decomposition of a chemical compound in the molten state or in the solution state into its constituent elements under the influence of an applied EMF is called electrolysis.
The amount of chemical reaction which occurs at any electrode during electrolysis is proporation to the quantity of current passing through the electrolyte.
or
The mass of the substance deposited at an electrode during the electrolysis of electrolyte is directly proporational to quantity of electricity passed through it.
