What is Electrolysis?

1 answer

Electrolysis is a process in which an electric current is passed through a substance, typically an electrolyte solution, in order to facilitate a chemical change. This process uses the electrical energy to drive a chemical reaction that would not occur spontaneously. Electrolysis is commonly used in various industrial processes, such as metal processing, water treatment, and electrolytic refining of metals. It is also used in hair removal treatments, where the electric current is used to destroy the hair follicles, leading to permanent hair removal.
