Physics · Electric current: drift velocity, mobility and their relation with electric current
Why are objects electroplated?
Why are objects electroplated?
- A. To protect it from corrosion.
- B. To prevent spoilage of objects.
- C. To make it appear shining.
- D. All of the above
Step-by-step solution
Electroplating serves multiple purposes: it protects objects from corrosion by providing a barrier, prevents spoilage by coating reactive surfaces (e.g., tin on steel cans), and enhances appearance with a shiny finish. Thus, all options are correct.
