First Law: It states that “The amount of substance liberated, deposited (or) dissolved at an electrode
during the electrolysis of an electrolyte is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity passed
through the electrolyte.
 
Second Law: If the same quantity of electricity is passed through different electrolytes, then the
weight of substances deposited at the respective electrodes are in the ratio of their chemical
equivalents.

Faraday's
 1st Law of Electrolysis - "The mass of a substance altered at an electrode during electrolysis is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity transferred at that electrode. Quantity of electricity refers to the quantity of electrical charge, typically measured in coulomb."
Faraday's 2nd Law of Electrolysis - "For a given quantity of D.C electricity (electric charge), the mass of an elemental material altered at an electrode is directly proportional to the element's equivalent weight..

Ch.ravi prasad Faraday second law should be applied when we listen about the words same current is passing....or when series word is there....or comparing and calculating the weights of two or more elements
