The number of electrons delivered at the cathode during electrolysis by a current of in is (charge on electron = ):
According to the definition of electric current, the total charge () passed is the product of current () and time (). Given: The total charge is also equal to the number of electrons () multiplied by the charge of a single electron (). Therefore, the number of electrons delivered at the cathode is .
