Detailed Solution

When an electrolyte is dissolved in water, and then an electric current is passed through it. The electrolyte is broken into positive and negative ions, cations move towards negatively charged electrodes and the anions move towards positively charged electrodes.
Electrolytes:
Compounds that let the electric current pass through them, when they are in a solution or in a molten state, are known as Electrolytes. An electrolyte is an ionic compound that when dissolved in solvent separates into its constituent ions and lets the electricity pass through it.
When an electric current is passed through an electrolytic solution, the positive ions(cations) move towards the negatively charged electrode and the negative ions(anions) move towards the positively charged electrode.
