In the above figure, is a bulb, is a switch, is the anode, is a beaker and is the electrolyte. An electrolytic cell mainly consists of a positively charged anode, a negatively charged cathode and an electrolyte. An electrolyte is a substance that dissociates in water into charged particles called ions. It provides the path for the flow of electrons or ions inside the cell. The chemical reactions happening in the cell help to convert the chemical energy into electrical energy. This electrical energy is allowed to travel through the external circuits connected with a switch. When there is a current flow, the bulb lights. This set up is used for the purification of copper by electrolysis. Copper() sulphate is used as the electrolyte. The anode (positive electrode) is made from impure copper and the cathode (negative electrode) is made from pure copper.
