GCSE Science/Electricity multiple choice practice question 6
< GCSE Science.png)
A student decided to silver plate his/her mother's forks. S/he set up the apparatus above. S/he set the power pack and variable resistor so that the ammeter read 0.1 A. S/he allowed the fork to remain in the electrolysis apparatus for 10 min. Once s/he removed the fork s/he tested it by trying to scratch the silver off. S/he found that the layer of silver was too thin and decided that s/he would have to take steps to make the layer a lot thicker.
Which one of the following steps would not produce a thicker layer of silver ?
- Increasing the voltage of the power pack
- Increasing the resistance of the variable resistance
- Increasing the time spent in the apparatus
- Increasing the concentration of the silver nitrate solution
