Electrolysis

What do we mean by electrolysis?

Chemical change, especially decomposition, produced in an electrolyte by an electric current. noun

Destruction of living tissue, especially of hair roots, by means of an electric current applied with a needle-shaped electrode. noun

The decomposition of a chemical compound, called the electrolyte, into its constituent parts by an electric current. noun

In surgery, the destruction of tumors, cicatricial bands, calculi, and other pathological formations by means of the electric current. noun

The number of ions set free in a given time is proportional to the strength of the current The current is carried through the electrolyte by the motion of ions possessing electric charges, and the ions of each element carry an unalterable charge of electricity; increase of current therefore involves an increase in the number of ions liberated. noun

If the same current be passed simultaneously through several cells in series, containing different electrolytes, the weight of the ions liberated in each cell is equal to the total quantity of electricity conveyed, multiplied by the electrochemical equivalent of the ions of that cell. noun

The act or process of chemical decomposition, by the action of electricity noun

The chemical change produced by passing an electric current through a conducting solution or a molten salt noun

The destruction of hair roots by means of an electric current noun

(chemistry) a chemical decomposition reaction produced by passing an electric current through a solution containing ions noun

Removing superfluous or unwanted hair by passing an electric current through the hair root noun

The chemical change produced by passing an electric current through a conducting solution or a molten salt.

The destruction of hair roots by means of an electric current.
