Electroplating:

1. Electroplating is one of the most common applications of chemical effects of electric current.

2. The process of depositing a layer of one metal over the surface of another metal by passing electric current is called electroplating. 

3. Take a glass jar and fill it with copper sulphate solution. 

4. Take a copper metal plate and connect it to the positive terminal of battery. 

5. Connect an iron spoon to the negative terminal of the battery. 

6. Now, dip them in the copper sulphate solution. 

7. When electric current is passed through the copper sulphate solution, you will find that a thin layer of copper metal is deposited on the iron spoon and an equivalent amount of copper is lost by the copper plate.
